DESCRIPTION

Buddha couple. Thailand, 20th century.
Bronze.
Measurements: 32 x 26 x 13 cm (the largest).

These sculptures present some of the "lakshana" or iconographic symbols identifying Buddhas and bodhisattvas. The first one we see are the eyelids folded, symbol of spiritual concentration and also of purity, for its similarity with the petals of the lotus, and complete a serene face with a sketched smile, symbol of the balance and serenity of a perfect being. The elongated earlobes allude to the large earrings worn by members of the upper classes in India contemporary to Sakyamuni, and represent the concepts of greatness, nobility and wisdom. Another "lakshana" present here are the folds on the neck, symbolizing happiness.

This lot can be seen at the Setdart Barcelona Gallery located at C/Aragón, 346.
