108 Votaries
Thailand, Sukhothai Style of the Bangkok period, c. 19th C in the reign of Rama III, 1820s. This exceptional example of the Sukhothai style, the Buddha of Dignity and Inner Strength, radiates the unshakable calm and resolute spiritual power that have given generations of Buddhist believers confidence that faith ultimately triumphs over evil and adversity. With his right hand raised to Repel the Evil Mara, the image emanates an unmistakable air of resolute tranquility and flame-like stamina that perfectly conveys the inner truth of Buddha’s emphasis on meditation and transcendence. The elevated base, here inscribed with the images of 108 devotees - 108 is a number of mystical totality - and monastic robes decorated with designs in imitation of silk brocade are just features of the renaissance of Buddhist art under the patronage of King Rama III in the early 19th century .

Bronze Each piece you see here is made individually by our master artisans. The craftsmanship involved creates slight variations in color, finish, size, and shape - a quality we consider to be an added touch of uniqueness. The remarkable detail of our bronze sculptures is due to meticulous and labor-intensive care by Thai craftsmen to produce these unique sculptures of exquisite detail and timeless durability. Buffing, polishing, and patinising give each piece its final green-grey verdigris or bronze luster, which conveys the essence of what we at Eastern Serenity admire in South-East Asian art.
