Measures - (Height) 22cm/9"
An antique Dvaravati style Thai stone Buddha head.
The artistry of Dvaravati Buddha statues, hailing from the ancient region of Dvaravati in Southeast Asia, stands as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry that once flourished in this historical landscape. Characterized by a distinctive style that exudes grace and serenity, these statues encapsulate the spiritual and artistic essence of a bygone era.
Dvaravati was an ancient civilization that thrived in parts of present-day Thailand from the 6th to the 11th centuries. The region witnessed a synthesis of various cultural influences, including Indian, Khmer, and Mon, giving rise to a distinctive artistic tradition that found expression in sculpture, architecture, and religious practices.
As is typical of the Dvaravati style, the Buddha exudes both grace and elegance. The Buddha, carved from sandstone, 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 Buddha radiates serenity and compassion
The broad face, treatment of the hair curls, serene downcast eyes, scalloped earlobes and single linear eyebrow have affinities which are typical of the Dvaravati style.
This Buddha with his graceful form and serene expression, invites us to journey back in time to a civilization where art and spirituality converged in harmonious unity.
As we contemplate the Dvaravati Buddha statues, we not only witness the artistic achievements of a historical civilization but also connect with the enduring spirit of devotion and enlightenment that transcends the ages.
In their silent repose, the Buddha beckons us to reflect on the universality of the human quest for inner peace and spiritual awakening, reminding us that the pursuit of grace and serenity is a timeless endeavor that spans cultures and centuries.
The Buddha head is mounted on a wood base (later).
