RARE LATE STYLE UTHONG 'C'. SACRED MEDITATIN...G BUDDHA TEMPLE RELICOverview: An exquisite 17th to 18th century Southeast Asian bronze sculpture of a Sakyamuni Buddha, stylistically and iconographically rendered in traditional U Thong 'C' style, influenced by early Ayutthaya types and distinguished by a more slender form, and whose effect is enhanced by a tall ushnisha and flamed ornament. The Buddha image is a magnigicent bronze example, marked in gilt gold on his torso and feet, signifying the piece was temple blessed by guru monks. The figure is depicted seated in meditation on an single level pedestal, intricately modeled with elegant stance and aesthetic alignment, measuring 12.75 inches (32.39cm) in height.Description: The figure is portrayed seated in the 'Maravijaya' mudra, with his right hand left of his knee, and the left hand rest palm open on the lap. The posture is Virasana, with one leg atop the sole of the other foot. The profile is tall and narrow with an elongated torso, wearing a long monastic robe worn diagonally covers the left shoulder, leaving the right bare, and is indicated by a thickened edge. The end flap hangs down from the shoulders to the midriff and resembles a strap. A flat belt is visible at the waist.XXX The face has a refine remote appearance characterized by an oval shape, with a serene expression and down-cast 'Mother-of-Pearl ' inlayed eyes, raised arched eyebrows meeting at the top of a prominent nose, and a wide mouth bears the hint of a smile. The elongated earlobes extend short of the shoulders framing his face. The forehead is marked by a small curved band which separates the face from the hairline. The head is covered in small rasp-like curls, surmounted by a hemispherical ' Ushnisha', topped by a tall flame finial.XXX The base was contracted with a short foot, with a narrow projecting rim or lip on the bottom. The image was casted in the lost wax method as one piece, including the head, arms, hands, and flame finial. The smooth well preserved bronze surface has a naturally aged chocolate brown patina, with gold gilding and traces of green malachite oxidation. The core within the bronze fills the upper chest, body and base; consisting of a tempered sandy clay mixture completely in tack.
