Bronze Buddha head Ayutthaya Period 16th century.Dark green patina.H with base 22.5 cmH 14 cmW 9.5 cmD 9 cmBuddha images from the 16th century Ayutthaya Period showing less influence from Lopburi and U Thong sculpture. U Thong style images had a more square face and a broad band between the hairline and the forehead. Under Sukhothai influence the face became more oval with less masculin expression. Later on also, the facial expression became more stern, somtimes without any smile at all but to obtain powerful authority and grandeur in the facial expression. This head is a fine example of classic Thai scupture executed according to strict iconographic rules. The contemplative mysterious gaze of this head is striking showing an absolute absence of longing,mon for this period.The seller guarantees that he is entitled to this lot.
