THAILAND, LOBPURI PERIOD, 13TH CENTURY

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

There is a large horizontal crack across the figure’s back beginning atop the proper-left side of the figure’s chest, as well as a large vertical crack from the top of the back, through half of the lower body; both likely due to the expansion of the sculpture’s core over time. There is a loss behind the proper-right shoulder and a crack that meets this loss, wrapping around the front of the arm. There are areas of varied-colored accretion across the surface and especially within recessed areas, masking some of the sculpture’s fine details. There is pitting to the surface throughout. The remains of gilding are scattered throughout. The tangs beneath each foot are later additions. The base with a similar surface and an additional hole, likely for a previously-associated mandorla.
