Buddha Head - Antique Thai Style Lopburi Mounted Bronze Buddha Head - 25cm/10"
Measures - (Height) 25cm/10"
An antique Lopburi style mounted Buddha Head, from Thailand.
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 surmounted by a lotus bud shaped 'Ushnisha', in the Lopburi tradition.
The lotus flower represents the attaining of enlightenment and the ultimate fulfilment that follows. This symbol is heavily used in Eastern religions, which is why it can appear as both a held item or a seat. Some say that as the lotus flower grows in dirty water but becomes something beautiful, it demonstrates how we must forget our attachments to the material world around us and focus on our inner spirituality in order to seek happiness.
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.
