| Keywords: Thai - Seated Buddha in"Maravijaya" - Walters 542801.jpg This image stands somewhat apart from the images that appear to have been made in Ayutthaya itself in about the 1st quarter of the 15th century It has a radiance in the form of a spike or elongated gem rather than a flame; it is deep; and the pedestal is less contracted and does not have a vertically edged element at the bottom It must therefore be the product of a different region possibly Suphanburi or Sanburi In the new Sukhothai and related styles there is an ideal facial shape The U Thong-style sculptor tends to proceed somewhat differently working outward from the facial features focusing on the expressive mouth and eyebrows with only a general notion of proper facial shape century 14 15 Ayutthaya leaded bronze at knees cm 33 4 16 6 accession number 54 2801 37922 Thailand Alexander B Griswold Monkton 1948 or before presented to the Breezewood Foundation December 1964 inv no 739 Walters Art Museum 1992 by bequest Bequest of A B Griswold 1992 none Unearthly Elegance Buddhist Art from the Griswold Collection The Walters Art Gallery Baltimore 1995 place of origin central Thailand Walters Art Museum license Thai sculptures in the Walters Art Museum Art of Ancient Thailand Media contributed by the Walters Art Museum needs category review | ||||
