Catalogue Note
Vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle, à la chute du royaume d'Ayuthya causé par les conquêtes birmanes, le Siam est réunifié et une nouvelle capitale est fondée sur la rive de la Chao Phraya, elle donne son nom à cette période dite 'de Bangkok'. Les premiers roi de la dynastie Chakri, Rama I, II et III s'inspire du dernier style d'Ayuthya pour développer la statuaire bouddhique. Les lignes sont toujours sinueuses et l'allure très digne et impassible.
