LAOS, 18th century An important bronze sculpture with a brown patina, depicting the Buddha Maravijaya. The deity is shown seated in virasana on a base adorned with a frieze of stylized flames, his hands in bhumisparsa mudra, the gesture of touching the earth as a witness. The face, with delicate and harmonious features, is animated by a gentle, youthful smile, the half-closed eyes conveying a profound inner depth. The left hand, resting in meditation, bears in the palm a representation of the Wheel of Dharma (dharmachakra), a symbol of Buddhist teaching. The head, whose hairstyle is rendered in fine spiral spikes, is crowned by an ushnisha extended by a tall stylized flame. She is dressed in a simple monastic robe. Height: 77.7 cm Provenance: private collection assembled in the 1990s. DELORME & COLLIN DU BOCAGE auction on August 1, 2011, at the Hôtel Majestic in Cannes, lot number 136
