Description
This Ayutthaya style Earth-Touching Buddha is depicted in the Earth-Touching (Bhumisparsha Mudra) posture, representing enlightenment, spiritual resolve, and the Buddha’s triumph over worldly temptation. The composition reflects the calm symmetry and devotional character associated with the Ayutthaya sculptural tradition.
Distinctive elements — including the tightly defined hair curls, elongated ears, softly modeled facial structure, and ornate pedestal motifs — express the stylistic vocabulary of this lineage. The bronze surface displays a mature darkened patina with areas of natural tonal variation and devotional wear, giving the statue a grounded and contemplative appearance.
The pedestal incorporates decorative relief details that enhance the ceremonial presentation while complementing the balanced seated form. Applied gold leaf remnants remain visible on the torso, reflecting traditional devotional practices commonly associated with Thai Buddhist worship.
With a height of 23 cm, it offers a refined medium-sized presence suitable for altars, meditation areas, or Southeast Asian art collections.
Dimensions: 14 × 8 × 23 cm (L × W × H)
