Four small gilded bronze Buddhas, 20th century

Gilt bronze. Four small Indo-Chinese figures that can be considered as amulets due to their size. Two of them are the representation of ‘Phra Phuttha Chinnarat’ or ‘พระพุทธชินราช’, enthroned, with legs bent in lotus position, right hand extended and left hand resting on the lap, serene expression, and hair gathered in three superimposed high buns. The third would be ‘Phra Kring’, also known as ‘Medicine Buddha’, with curly hair tied back, serene expression, body covered by a long ‘Dothi’ and legs in ‘dhyanasana’ on a lotus throne. Finally, there is ‘Shakyamuni’, in an upright position, with straight legs, body covered by a long robe, hands arranged in ‘adhayamudra’ and serene expression, lowered eyes, subtle smile and hair in a bun.
