Title: Antique Bronze Sukhothai Walking Buddha in Vitarkamudra, Ayutthaya
Influence. 17/18th C. Thailand.
Subtitle: Late Sukhothai to Early Ayutthaya Style - An amazing bronze
sculpture carved by an inspired, highly skilled artisan.
Overview: Buddha of the Sukhothai period are elegant, with sinuous bodies,
which convey a sense of rhythmic motion as if by mystical means levitating.
This style emphasizes the spiritual aspect of the Buddha by accentuating many
anatomical details, such as being modeled with dramatically curved contours,
having well defined broad shoulders, inflated chest, massive thighs and arms
round like elephant trunks, long enough to touch his knees. The skin is smooth
covered by a clinging diaphanous garment, draping the left shoulder, with the
outline of the undergarment belt clearly visible at the waist, and gracefully
descending down to the garment’s hem.
Description: An amazing rendition portrayed simple and elegant, with the
elements of form and proportion typical of Sukhothai statuary, depicted walking
with his right heel lifted and the left foot forward. The right arm draped to
his right side, while the left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand raised in
performing the 'Vitarka' mudra, the gesture of teaching and discussion.XXX
Buddha is modeled with smooth long limbs, shown wearing clothing draped
loosely around the body. The hair is knotted in snail-shell shaped spirals,
densely packed with outlined curls of the head separating the hairline from his
forehead, rising to a flame-like Ushnisha. The face is oval with realistic
features, eyes are half-closed and contemplative, eyebrows arched, prominent
nose, bow-shaped lips with an insipid smile, and a cleft chin. The entirety
stands on a double lotus base with stamens surrounding the Buddha.
Remarks: Based on the style and accuracy of detail, this image of a
Walking Buddha was probably produced during a transitional period when the
Sukhothai kingdom began to lose its power and it was absorbed into the Kingdom
of Ayutthaya.
