Head Of Buddha - Ayutthaya Province, Thailand - Late 17th – Early 18th Century
BUDDHA HEAD
Province of Ayutthaya, Thailand
Late 17th - early 18th century
Bronze
H. 5 ; L 3.6 cm
(old accident)
This bronze Buddha head is particularly elegant: its closed eyelids are incised as if to express wisdom, its lips are finely drawn, its nasal bridge extends into two eyebrow arches and its earlobes are particularly elongated - this last feature refers to the heavy jewellery that Prince Siddharta used to wear.
Lastly, his headdress is punctuated by a succession of small beads around which Buddha's characteristic protuberance, known as the "oushnisha", rose.
