Buddha Head - Antique Thai Style Chiang Saen Mounted Bronze Buddha Head - 19cm/8"
Measures - (Height) 19cm/8"
An antique Chiang Saen style mounted Buddha Head, from Thailand.
This Chiang Saen style of Buddha is a distinctive and historically significant artistic tradition of Buddha statues in northern Thailand. This style is characterized by the unique aesthetic features, intricate details, and profound spiritual symbolism.
The Chiang Saen style originated in the north of Thailand, near the borders of Myanmar (Burma) and Laos. The area was a significant centre of Buddhist art and culture during the Lanna period, which spanned from the 13th to the 18th centuries.
The Buddha is formed of a thick bronze cast with good weight. The head is sensitively rendered with a softly contoured face and serene contemplative expression, with arched eyebrows bowed high towards the forehead, set above heavy-lidded eyes, a narrow well-shaped nose, bow-shaped lips with a serene smile, and prominent elongated ears. The head is covered in thorn-like hair curls, surmounted by a lotus bud 'Ushnisha', in the Chiang Saen tradition.
The lotus flower represents purity, compassion and the giving of great joy to all.
The surface has a beautifully aged malachite patina.
The Buddha is mounted on a metal and wood base (later).
This traditional in appearance piece is sure to add serenity to your home, office or sacred space.
One of the most recognisable of the Asian deities this representation of the spiritual teacher Buddha is sure to enlighten your home with endlessly timeless style.
