<p>AN ATTRACTIVE AND UNUSUAL SEATED THAI GILT BUDDHA<P>At different times in his life, the Buddha tried different practices of discipline in his unrelenting quest for enlightenment and ultimate happiness. These practices included different types of meditation, prayer, fasting, physical disciplines, etc. In this gilt bronze with red and black polychrome, he is seen seated on a rounded pyramidal-shaped throne during a period of over-indulgence to test the power of food to bring happiness, prior to his period of extreme fasting. He is also sometimes depicted in Asian art as emaciated during his fasting period. <p>This unusual gilt bronze from Thailand is in excellent condition and is about 100 years old. It has the typical concrete seen underneath from the casting process. The piece is 12.75" in height by 11.75" in width, and about 7.5" in depth.
