Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby`s is merely a subjective, qualified opinion. Prospective buyers should also refer to any Important Notices regarding this sale, which are printed in the Sale Catalogue.NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE."来源: Sotheby`s London, 14th November 1988, lot 58.来源3: The style of this large and powerfully cast representation of Shakyamuni Buddha is named after Prince U-THong of Ayutthaya (1314-59), who annexed territory from the northern regions of the Khmer empire. The style bears many Lopburi characteristics, such as the squareness of the face, treatment of the hair and distinct modelling of the lips.The Buddha is depicted seated in sattvasana on a large waisted lotus throne, his hands held in bhumisparsha mudra. This symbolises the moment that he attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree, when he summoned the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment. His face is beautifully cast in an expression of serene meditation, with downcast eyes framed on the sensitively delineated face with high eyebrows, slender semi-circular eyes and carefully pronounced lips.Only a small number of U-Thong period bronzes from the early phase is recorded in any private or museum collection. A smaller figure of Buddha (49cm) with closely related stylistic details is in the National Museum, Bangkok. See also a smaller U-Thong style bronze figure of the Buddha, depicted seated without a base, illustrated in A. Bassoul, Human and Divine - The Hindu and Buddhist Iconography of Southeast Asian Art from the Claire and Aziz Bassoul Collection, Beirut 2006, pp.222-223, pl. 80, and sold at Christie`s Paris, 6th December 2007, lot 402.
