The serene facial expression, elongated earlobes, finely detailed robes and neatly curled hair beneath the flame-shaped ushnisha reflect the elegant proportions of classical Thai Buddhist sculpture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe figure is seated in meditation upon a lotus pedestal, symbolising purity and spiritual awakening. The bronze has developed a rich, warm patina over the past century, with gentle wear and surface variation that enhance its authenticity and character. The hollow-cast construction is typical of many devotional bronzes of the period, while the quality of the modelling gives the piece a refined and peaceful presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented in good antique condition with age-related wear and patination consistent with its age. Measures approximately 25cm (9.8 inches) tall. A beautiful devotional sculpture that will appeal to collectors of Asian antiques, Buddhist art and early 20th century bronzes, while also making an elegant focal point within a calm, thoughtfully curated interior.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56735040176514,"sku":"26-06-26-Y-17.5-S-TM","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8180762962_3g8h.jpg?v=1782475957","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/antique-early-20th-century-thai-bronze-buddha-statue-bhumisparsha-mudra-seated-figure-25cm-tall","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
