|a The sculpture is typical of the Amarapura period (1783-1819 CE) in the use of alabaster, the rounded face and hairline, the slight upturn in the lips and extended earlobes and the placement of the ear parallel to the head. The image of the Buddha is seated in Bhumisparsa mudra, the legs folded in the lotus or Dhayanasana position, tightly crossed at the ankle and both soles visible. Traces of black lacquer remain on the robe, once probably gilded. -- The modern gilded teak throne or palin (H100 x W74 x D57.5cm) in Amarapura style was made at the Shwedagon pagoda, Yangon. The gilding is commonly known as ‘Japanese gold’, a high quality acrylic paint, less costly in material and labour than pure gold leaf applied by hand. (Text by John T. Carpenter and Yoshiko Yasumura, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) |
