An Antique Sukhothai Style Walking Buddha from Thailand
This exquisite antique Walking Buddha sculpture, crafted in the revered Sukhothai style from Thailand, captures the enlightened master's graceful post-enlightenment stride. Depicted mid-step on a circular lotus base atop an octagonal pedestal, it radiates timeless serenity and spiritual depth.
Symbolism of the Lotus and Motion
The lotus base symbolizes purity, compassion, and boundless joy, rising pristine from earthly waters. The Walking Buddha embodies kinhin—walking meditation—fostering mindfulness in every deliberate step, blending concentration, insight, and presence. This dynamic pose conveys equanimity amid activity, affirming enlightenment thrives in daily life, not just stillness.The Middle Path and Impermanence
Its balanced posture evokes the Middle Path, urging harmony over extremes in all endeavors. Each forward step whispers impermanence, a core Buddhist truth mirroring life's ceaseless flux.Mudra and Facial Serenity
The serene countenance features downcast, introspective eyes, a firm brow, and elongated earlobes—echoes of princely youth burdened by golden earrings. The right hand forms the Abhaya mudra (gesture of fearlessness), palm outward in protection, reassurance, and bliss, a motif spanning Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions. Crowning it all, the flaming ushnisha protuberance signifies supreme spiritual attainment, hallmark of Sukhothai artistry.Masterful Craftsmanship
Exceptional casting shines in the refined facial details, expressive hands, and delightful patina, evoking centuries of reverence.This traditional bronze Buddha sculpture infuses any home, office, or sacred space with profound tranquility and elegant style.
