Bust of an Ayutthaya Buddha Thailand, mid to late Ayuttahaya period 15th century until 1767 Height 28 cm, with base 45 cm Broken upper half of a Buddha in the classical Ayutthaya style derived from the representations of the Sukhothai period with the characteristic elements, such as lips framed with fine lines, meditatively half-closed, curved eyes under the arched brows and flaming tip from the ushnisha. The expression of his face reflects sublimity, but at the same time world-weary, enlightened serenity. This impression is reinforced by the Dhyanamudra, the gesture of immersion. Broken off in the middle of the body, some cracks also testify to its violent destruction, possibly having fallen victim to the destruction of the Ayutthaya Empire by the Burmese.
