  • Antique Thai Style Bronze Sukhothai Reclining Nirvana Buddha Statue - 106cm/42"

    Measures (Length) 106cm/42"

    An antique Thai style Sukhothai style Buddha that depicts the Buddha in nirvana or enlightened pose.

    Depicting the Buddha in his final moments of physical existence, the Nirvana Buddha symbolizes the ultimate liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

    Nirvana, or Nibbana in Pali, is the ultimate goal in Buddhism. It signifies the cessation of all suffering, desire, and individual existence, marking the end of the cycle of samsara (rebirth). Achieving Nirvana means attaining a state of perfect peace, wisdom, and liberation. For Buddhists, it represents the pinnacle of spiritual practice and the fulfillment of the Buddha’s teachings.

    In Thai Buddhism, the Nirvana Buddha holds deep symbolic meaning. It serves as a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life and the potential for liberation from suffering. The image of the Buddha lying peacefully on his side, often with a serene expression, embodies the tranquility and liberation that come with the attainment of Nirvana.

    The large ushnisha protuberance on top of his head symbolizes his high level of spiritual development.

    This stunning Buddha demonstrates magnificent, intricate details with bronzed and malachite tones to his patina and flowing robes that extend in delicate curls at the extremities. 

    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 and robes. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina of the piece is also particularly delightful.

    The peaceful countenance of Lord Buddha exudes harmony. The Buddha is laying down on his side in calm repose. This pose captures him in his final moments before his death. The pose is also referred to as the sleeping Buddha and symbolises the Buddha's achievement of nirvana or enlightenment. The Buddha knew the exact moment of his death and at this time lay down to sleep and simply passed away peacefully with his enlightened soul eternally escaping the cycle of samasara. 

    The Nirvana Buddha is a profound symbol of ultimate liberation and spiritual awakening in Thai Buddhism. It represents the culmination of the Buddha's journey and the realization of Nirvana, offering a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life and the potential for liberation from suffering.

    Through its historical, cultural, and religious significance, the Nirvana Buddha continues to inspire devotion, reflection, and spiritual practice in Thailand, embodying the timeless wisdom and compassion of the Buddha’s teachings.

    As Thai Buddhists venerate the Nirvana Buddha, they connect with a rich tradition that guides them towards inner peace and ultimate enlightenment.

What Our Customers Think

We received the reclining Buddha and we love it! Thanks again!

Terence, Zurich, Switzerland

It is an amazing "museum quality" antique bronze!!! For a 19th century bronze antique, I believe the Newark, NJ Museum may express interest if I show them. However, they will never get it and I will have it in my collection for posterity. We will be doing much more business in the foreseeable future, count on it!!!

Joseph, Newark, NJ, USA
