Description: A Large, Rare Antique, Thai Ayuthya Stone Buddha Head. Thailand, 15. Century. Antique Thai Ayuthya Stone Buddha Head. Size: 10'' x 7'' x 7.5'' (25 x 18 x 19 cm). Height on base: 15" (38 cm). This Buddha head, characteristic of the Ayutthaya period in Thai art, is carved from a pale, weathered stone, giving it an ancient and serene appearance. The facial features are softly rendered, with a calm expression, downcast eyes, and a subtle smile, embodying the Buddha's peaceful enlightenment. The head showcases typical Ayutthaya style elements, including an elongated face, arched eyebrows, and a flame-like ushnisha (topknot) on the crown. The surface texture appears worn and pitted, suggesting great age and exposure to the elements. The sculpture is mounted on a dark wooden base, which provides a stark contrast to the light-colored stone. This presentation style is common for displaying fragmentary Buddhist sculptures in museums or private collections, emphasizing its status as both a religious icon and a work of art.House of Craven Auction Gallery: Please consider downloading our free mobile app available on iOS and Android: House of Craven.
