Antique Thai Style Dvarvati Standing Preaching Buddha Statue 58cm/23" Measures – (Height) 58cm/23” Antique Thai Dvarvati style Buddha from Thailand. The Buddha has been professionally mounted on a wood base. The figure is remarkable for its realistic yet delicate delineation of the limbs and the robe which seems to cling to the body. The garment (sanghati) covers both shoulders. The right hand is held out in the vitarka mudra of teaching. The lowered left hand grants boons in the varada mudra. A very naturalistic succession of wavy folds on the surface of his body revealing the soft contours of the body underneath. His face is handsome with a slight smile and straight nose. 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. The casting is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of the fingers and toes. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive azurite and malachite patina of the piece is also particularly delightful.
