Title: Rare Antique Meditating Lao Chieng Luang Altar Buddha, Temple Relic, Laos 18/19th C.

Overview: An extremely rare and exquisite Meditating Chieng Luang Altar Buddha, acquired from a temple precinct in northern Laos, beautifully rendered in an exalted profile, intricately carved with exacting detail. Statuary of this type were created by Lao people, and were carried by Buddhist Monks and Devotees when on a Pilgrimage and were often gifted to temples as an offering for those seeking to gain merit. They were temple blessed and consecrated by Buddhist Monks prior to their placement within a temple structure. Buddha sits on an elevated altar-like pedestal, measuring 6.75 inches (17.45cm) in height.

Description:

A spiritual image of the Buddha meditating on a stylized altar-like throne, seated cross-legged in the 'Virasana' pose, one leg atop the sole of the other foot, with the right hand held in the 'Bhunmisparsa' mudra, the earth touching gesture, with the hand positioned near the right knee, and the fingers reaching downward towards the ground. Typical with this gesture the left hand is positioned in his lap in the Dhyana mudra.

The body plump 'Khanon Thom' covered by a Sanghati Robe worn diagonally over the left shoulder, leaving the right shoulder bare, graced by a wide flap draped to the mid-section. Buddha features a long oval face, with downcast eyes open, curved eyebrows meet above a prominent nose, and contoured lips with an exalted expression. The headdress is smooth, surmounted by a hemispherical 'Ushnisha', topped by a tall conical ornament finial.

Base Description: The entirety is supported by an elaborate columnar-like pedestal fashioned in stylized multi-layer bands, incised with Buddhist Monk inscriptions written both the front and reverse. A very heavy piece cast from the lost wax method in pure bronze, with the surface showing a naturally aged patina. There is no core within the figure, only the heavy thick alloy.
