(2) Expert’s note: This is a fine example of Ayutthaya period production that took inspiration from various Thai artistic traditions, in this case, particularly Sukhothai. Encompassing the lands of the former Mon, Khmer, and Sukhothai kingdoms, Ayutthaya is better understood as a patchwork of self-governing principalities rather than a unified state. Ethnic and political concerns are apparent in Buddha images produced for the Ayutthaya kingdom, a continuation of the syncretic art of the preceding U-Thong period (12th-15th century). U-Thong workshops experimented with the physiognomic representation and iconography of the Buddha, blending features associated with images produced by Mon, Khmer, and Thai artisans (see Hiram W. Woodward, The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand, 1997, pp. 145 & 177). Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams San Francisco, 26 June 2018, lot 35 Price: USD 10,000 or approx.
