Antique Thai Style Bronze Chiang Saen Meditation Buddha Statue - 23cm/9"
Measures - (Height) 23cm/9"
An antique Thai style Buddha from HD Asian Art depicting a Chiang Saen style Buddha . The Lord Buddha is seated in cross legged serenity, in the Dhyana mudra or 'Meditation Position'. Fingers barely touching and gently folded over the lap with palms facing upward. This hand gesture promotes the energy of meditation, deep contemplation and unity with higher energy.
The Meditation Buddha, also known as Dhyana Mudra or Samadhi Mudra, is an iconic representation of the Buddha in a contemplative and meditative posture. This image holds deep significance within Buddhist tradition, conveying essential teachings and embodying the virtues of inner peace, mindfulness, and spiritual reflection.
As is traditional, the Meditation Buddha is depicted here in a seated posture, with both legs crossed in the half-lotus position. The hands are placed in the Dhyana Mudra, where the right hand rests on top of the left hand, with the thumbs gently touching, forming a subtle triangle or circle. The Buddha's back is straight, and the gaze is lowered, signifying deep concentration and inner reflection.
Expression and symbolism
The Buddha’s face is serene and introspective, with gently downcast eyes and a firm, composed brow that together convey deep inner stillness. His elongated earlobes recall his youth as a prince adorned with heavy gold earrings, a reminder of the worldly life he renounced. Rising from the crown of his head is a prominent ushnisha, symbolising advanced spiritual attainment, which culminates in a stylised lotus-bud finial—an emblem of purity and enlightenment emerging from the world’s turmoil.
The lotus flower bud shaped ushnisha protuberance on top of his head symbolizes his high level of spiritual development. The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings.
The casting is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of the face. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive azurite and malachite patina of the piece is also particularly delightful.
The sculpture provides the perfect traditional in appearance Buddha to bring serenity and timeless style to your home, office or sacred space.
