Description
This Rattanakosin-style Buddha statue is presented in a seated posture atop a multi-tiered ornamental base, reflecting traditional Thai craftsmanship and devotional design.
The figure features a rounded head form with minimal ushnisha prominence, softly defined facial features, and elongated earlobes, giving it a calm and grounded appearance. The seated posture appears consistent with Bhumisparsha Mudra (earth-touching gesture), symbolizing enlightenment.
A distinctive feature of this piece is the ornate flame-shaped fan held at the side. This element adds a unique visual identity and may reflect symbolic or decorative influences seen in certain Thai devotional representations.
The surface displays a naturally aged bronze patina, with visible remnants of gold leaf application across the robe and hands, suggesting prior devotional use.
The robe is decorated with fine textured motifs, while the base shows layered lotus-style and geometric detailing, contributing to its structured and balanced presence.
The underside reveals a filled base of amulets, typical of cast statues, and the piece carries a substantial weight, enhancing its stability for altar or display use.
This is a distinctive Rattanakosin-style Buddha statue, suitable for collectors or as a statement altar piece.
Dimensions: 26 × 18 × 33 cm (L × W × H)
