19th Century Antique Bronze Ayutthaya Charity Gautama Buddha Statue - 54cm/22"

Measurements – H54cm/22"

Ca. 19th century Thai Ayutthaya style seated Charity Buddha seated on a stylized boat pedastal. Each side comes up in a stylized point much like the royal boats that paddle on the river Choa Praya in Bangkok during royal river processions.  The large ushnisha protuberance on top of his head, typical of the Ayutthaya style, symbolizes his high level of spiritual development. The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow.  His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings.  

Holding an open alms bowl this posture is a reminder of the duty of the monks to follow Buddha’s ideal of detachment and poverty and to go each day to receive food from the hands of the believers. It represents charity and compassion. 

After four years of his ministry, Buddha went to his family community in Kapilavatsu (town in Nepal) to collect offerings from the people there. The following day, he went back and presented himself at the palace of the king, his father, so that the members of the royal family could, hostility being put aside, make their food offerings.
