Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:26283234
Original Description:
Fantastic pair of vintage verdigris bronze and gold gilt statues depicting Phra Ram, aka Rama, as an archer mounted on a pith ebonized wood base.To a Thai or Burmese Buddhist it represents the importance of wisdom, effort, patience and concentration on the journey to bliss. The statue is very well executed with special attention paid to the facial expression and hand gestures. It has lovely lines and is well balanced visually and structurally.Rama is the hero of the Ramakien, the natio...nal epic of Thailand. It is derived from the Ramayana and adapts the Hindu myths to Buddhist teachings. Rama was a bold and powerful warrior as well a devout and virtuous man. The traditional figure of the "Thai Archer" shows Rama as both: with his bow and armor he is a fighter, but his very specific, yogic pose and hand gestures show he is also a seeker of enlightenment.Attaining purity of mind and hitting a target both require concentration, effort, patience and knowledge. That is the meaning of the statue. Through wisdom (the bow) one launches the virtues that lead to bliss. If there was an arrow it would pass directly through his head, but that is a part of the metaphor: The arrow is invisible because it is the archer's concentrated thought or prayer.They are in great vintage condition, please see photos.
