拍品專文

The iconographic concept of the walking Buddha Shakyamuni was a Sukhothai invention and became very popular amongst the Thai and has remained since. During this period however, almost all walking Buddha's had their left hand raised in the 'do-not-fear' posture. Only after this period one comes accros examples with their right hand raised, like the presented walking Buddha. Based on this feature but also on the fact that his face is less ovoid-shaped like than with Sukhothai examples, it is proposed to date the bronze after the Sukhothai period. Actually his face is comparable with examples which are casted in the Kampheng Pet style of the sixteenth century. Although this style is still inspired by Sukhothai one sees already its departure to a more Ayutthaya concept. Also the body of the offered Buddha is less energetic casted as would have been the case in the classic Sukhothai style. It seems now more fluid and elegant which is common for a post Sukhothai tradition. Therefore it is proposed to date this walking Buddha to the sixteenth century.
