拍品描述

Dimensions:Height 84.5cm (33‑1/4in)Condition & Provenance:This large wooden bodhisattva retains its original integrated lotus pedestal. The polychrome painted surface exhibits age‑related cracking, wear and partial pigment loss consistent with ancient wooden sculpture; no over‑painting or modern repolychrome. Wood material shows natural aging, minor surface losses, yet the overall sculptural form, facial features, robe drapery and lotus‑base carving remain complete. No major structural repair or replacement. This significant devotional wood sculpture originates from a prominent private collection in Bangkok. Acquired in the mid‑1980s, it has remained within one family estate and is now offered for public auction for the first time.Description:This imposing carved‑wood bodhisattva stands upon a fully carved double‑lotus base. The figure wears high‑arranged topknot headdress, elaborate neck ornaments, and layered flowing robes rendered with deep, naturalistic folds. Its right hand forms a protective mudra, while the left hand gently holds a ribbon‑like ornament. The facial expression is serene and tranquil, characteristic of Song‑Yuan Buddhist aesthetic. Traces of original green, red, ochre polychrome pigments survive across the surface. The masterful handling of garment rhythm and body proportion reflects the sophisticated wood‑carving craftsmanship of the Song‑Yuan period. This is a substantial museum‑quality wooden Buddhist devotional statue.
