About the Item

This seated Buddha, depicted in the meditative posture of the Dhyani mudra, originates from the Kingdom of Ayutthaya in Thailand and dates back to the 19th century. The piece displays a beautiful aged patina, along with remarkable refinement in its craftsmanship and the elegance of its modeling. The serene and harmonious face perfectly reflects the Buddhist art of the period, imbued with gentleness and contemplation. The Dhyani mudra, shown here, is a sacred gesture reserved for meditation, with the Buddha’s hands resting together upon his lap. A symbol of concentration and spiritual transcendence, it evokes the pursuit of inner peace and the attainment of enlightenment. In tradition, this posture is associated with the Buddha’s victory over the temptations and torments of Mara, the embodiment of illusion. An artwork of both artistic and spiritual significance, this bronze Buddha is at once a collector’s piece and an inspiring object for meditation.
