Keywords: Thai - Seated Buddha in "Maravijaya" - Walters 542746.jpg Lan Na Buddha images can be looked at in two ways in terms of types Sihing or non-Sihing or modes and in terms of stylistic qualities But in fact these two approaches overlap to a certain degree This image is not a Sihing the legs lie on top of one another the right hand rests left of the knee the mantle is long and the original radiance surely had the form of a flame But it also differs from a Sihing-type image because of the absence of certain stylistic features such as an undulant swelling body and vigorously curved fingers Even the mouth is controlled to the point of primness These qualities nevertheless manage to endow the image with a certain personality as if inside there were a more vigorously modeled sculpture trying to get out The date in the inscription can be interpreted as 1494 1554 1614 and so forth The term kap yi combines a marker repeating every ten years with one repeating every twelve years 1554 Lan Na hollow cast bronze at knees cm 62 2 37 accession number 54 2746 27802 Dr Carthew Bangkok Alexander B Griswold Monkton June 1949 presented to the Breezewood Foundation 1965 inv no 548 Walters Art Museum 1992 by bequest Bequest of A B Griswold 1992 Transliteration pi kap ni ton nay gam cebh san cau le; Translation In the year kap yi one of the decade/tiger fourth month Mr Khamchaep established this lord Unearthly Elegance Buddhist Art from the Griswold Collection The Walters Art Gallery Baltimore 1995 place of origin Lan Na in present-day Thailand Walters Art Museum license Thai sculptures in the Walters Art Museum Art of Ancient Thailand Media contributed by the Walters Art Museum needs category review
