Description: Thai Thailand Seated Māravijaya Gilt Lacquer Bronze Buddha Kingdom of Chiang Saen Circa 15th century. Measures 12 inches high (without base) X 8 1/2 wide X 6 inches deep with possible minor areas of restoration, losses and other expected age wear as seen in the images, traces of lacquer and gilding to surface, weighs 13 pounds 7 ounces.The city of Chiang Saen, founded in 1327, was the capital of the small vassal Lanna Kingdom with which it shared a varied history. The city was an active centre for bronze-casters who had their own characteristic style. It is thought that Sukhothai casters came north and helped create this particular aesthetic style. Indeed, it has certain traits of the Sukhothai style, such as the slightly hooked nose, the eyebrows arching to the bridge of the nose, and the hair in tiny juxtaposed curls. To this is added the influence of Indian sculpture. The result is a different rendering, closer to the spirit of classical Indian Buddhist statuary, more vigorous, present and majestic. This Buddha is a perfect example. The smoothness of the facial features, the chin, underlined on both sides by an incised line, and the ears with pointed ends bending outwards: all this is characteristic of the Chiang Saen (and Lanna) style.
