A LATE AYUTHIA BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA, THAILAND, 17TH/18TH CENTURY
seated in sattvasana, his hands in bhumisparsa and dhyana mudra, wearing elaborate jewellery, with tiered crown, earrings, bracelets and armlets, 25.5cm
This is an example of the later Ayuthia style which anticipates the highly decorated style of 19th century Bangkok (Ratnakosin). For a closely related bronze head in the Griswold Collection (Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore), see Woodward 1997, pl.234, p.237. See also Boisselier 1975, fig.9, p.202.
