Histoty of Thailand Phra Rattanakosin Buddha statue . Buddha Images and Sculptures in the Age of Rattanakosin Sculpture is defined as a casting and molding to form an object. In the early day, sculptures were mostly built to represent important people, which sometimes were created from the imagination of a caster such as the cast of the Lord Buddha images. Casters had to read ancient scriptures in order to be able to form face, shape, and posture of the Lord Buddha closely. In the early age of Rattanakosin, King Buddha Yodfa Chulalok, the King Rama I, was the person who began the process of rebuilding the cities due to the destruction performed by Burmese. In this period, the King Rama I had collected important Buddha images from other provinces and enshrined them in Bangkok. For example, the image of Phra Sri Sakayamunee was taken and moved by raft from Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai province. The image of Phra Sri Sakayamunee was a very big sculpture built by a famous caster named Phra Thewa Rangsan. Later on, Somdet Phra Buddha Loetla Nabhalai, the King Rama II, renovated many artistic buildings and sculptures especially, for example, he ordered casters to mold beautiful statues named Phraya Rakyai Raknoi, Phra Lak and Phra Ram. In the present, these statues are placed in the national museum. In addition, the King Rama II also ordered the casters to sculpt two important Buddha images named Phra Buddha Jurarak enshrined in Buddhist church of Wat Ratchasit Tharam and Phra Buddha Sittharam enshrined in Buddhist church of Wat Arun Rajwararam . Moreover, he ordered sculptors to carve the door of the main religious hall in Wat Sutat Thepwararam into plant and animal patterns. When it came to the reign of the King Rama III, Phra Bath somdej Phra Nang Klao Chaoyuhua ordered sculptors to build principle Buddha images. For example, the sculpture of the principle Buddha image named Phra Phuttri Lokkachet enshrined in the church of Wat Sutat Thepwararam, Phra Phutta Setmuni enshrined in the church of Wat Ratchanatdaram and Phra Phutta Maha Loka Phi Nanta Patima enshrined in the church of Wat Cha Learm Phra Kiat. Additionally, he ordered sculptors to build reclining Buddha image with 90 cubits long in the church of Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram, and standing Buddha image with the king costume enshrined in the temple of emerald Buddha in order to memorialize his grandfather and father. To sculpt theses Buddha images, he used bronze and gold as components and decorated them with diamonds. He named these two Buddha images as Buddha Yodfa Chulalok and Phra Buddha Loetla Nabhalai . Since the reign of Phrabat Somdet Phra Chom Klao Chao Yu Hua , the King Rama IV, there have been many more sculptures sculpted to represent important people. For instance, the statue of Somdej Phra Wannarat and Chao Phraya Bodin Decha were sculpted and enshrined near a small pagoda in Wat Chakkrawat Rachawat or Wat Sampluem. Sculpting these statues was under supervision of ‘Phra Phutthajan Ma' who was the abbot of the temple at that time. Afterwards, when the news of the death of Chao Phraya Bodin Decha was known by the prince of Cambodia whose name was Ong Harirak or Ong Duang, he built a small foundry at the army site by Wat Pho Tharam in Udon Michai province (old capital city of Cambodia). To show an honor for Chao Phraya Bodin Decha , the prince of Cambodia requested Cambodian monks who specialized in sculpting to form the statue of Chao Phraya Bodin Decha and enshrined as a monument. The monument was made by stucco and called by Cambodians as ‘Roop Ongbodin Thara'. The statue of Chao Phraya Bodin Decha was finished in 1849 and it became a model of sculpture for Thai people later on. Thereafter, the King Rama IV started his project to sculpt a statue in western style first time in Thailand. He ordered a famous sculptor named ‘Luang Thep Rotjana' or ‘Phlap' and Phraya Jinda Rangsan to mold the statue. This sculpture was created to represent the King himself but reproduced and modified from the old statue that was modeled by western sculptors. After the statue was completely casted, it has been enshrined in Weyan Wichain Prasart throne – hall, Phra Nakhon Khiri, Petchaburi province until now. In addition, many statues of the King Rama IV have presently been sculpted and enshrined in Phra Tamnak Petch throne – hall at Wat Bowon Niwet Wihan and in Phra Jom hall at Wat Ratcha Pradit, Bangkok. As pointed out above, the old style of sculptures has gradually developed to become more modern in the present. A sculpture of a Buddha image in the current period is not as big as in the age of King Rama III and the physical characteristics of a modern Buddha image are more similar to a human, with more realistic rope and costume. Some examples of modern design of Buddha images are Phra Samphuttha Phanni, Phra Niran Tarai and Phra Phuttha Sihing Kha Patima. Another example of modern Buddha image is a standing Buddha with the attitude of persuading the relatives not to quarrel. This standing Buddha was enshrined in the church of Wat Ratchapradit. It is one of the Buddha images whose rope looks very realistic. Another famous sculpture worshiped by Thai people is the idol of god named ‘Phra Siam Thewathirat' created by Phra Ongchao Pradit Worakan. It is a small idol made from gold with eight feet high. Its physical characteristics are very magnificent. The most magnificent sculpture in the early Rattanakosin period was Phra Rattana. It was casted of bronze and gold, decorated with the king costume. It was one of the valuable sculptures in the history of Thailand. The Buddha Sheltered by a Naga is a common motif in Buddhist art that depicts the Buddha sitting in meditation under the protective hood of a naga, a mythical serpent-like creature called Muchilinda.Serpent king Muchilinda is a nāga, a snake-like being, who protected the Gautama Buddha from the elements after his enlightenment. According to the Mucalinda Sutta, after the Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, he continued to meditate there for seven weeks. During that period, a storm arose and the rising waters threatened to submerge him. In order to protect him, the serpent king Muchilinda coiled his body beneath the seated Buddha to lift him up above the flood and spread his hood over him to serve as an umbrella.After Buddha finished meditating and the sky cleared, Mucalinda adopted the form of a youth and bowed before him. The Buddha thanked Mucalinda for his protection and blessed him.The Buddha Sheltered by a Naga is a powerful and evocative image that has resonated with Buddhists for centuries. This motif has various symbolic meanings that reflect the core teachings and values of Buddhism.One of the meanings of this motif is the Buddha’s victory over the forces of evil. The naga is a powerful and dangerous creature, but the Buddha is able to tame it and bring it under his control. This symbolizes the Buddha’s victory over his own inner demons, such as greed, hatred, and delusion, as well as his victory over the external forces of ignorance and violence in the world. By overcoming these obstacles, the Buddha attained enlightenment and liberation from suffering.Another meaning of this motif is the Buddha’s compassion and mercy. The naga is also a symbol of fertility and abundance, as it is believed to control the rain and the crops. By sheltering the Buddha under its hood, the naga is offering him its protection and support. This symbolizes the Buddha’s compassion for all beings, regardless of their nature or status, and his willingness to help them on their path to enlightenment. The Buddha taught that compassion is one of the four sublime states of mind that lead to happiness and peace.A third meaning of this motif is the Buddha’s journey to enlightenment, which is a journey of self-discovery and self-integration. The naga is often associated with the underworld, or with the realm of the unconscious mind, where hidden aspects of the self reside. By sheltering the Buddha, the naga is helping him to integrate his shadow self and to achieve wholeness. This symbolizes the Buddha’s process of awakening, which involves transcending the dualities of self and other, good and evil, and samsara and nirvana.It is a reminder of the Buddha’s victory over evil, his compassion for all beings, and his journey to enlightenment. It is also a representation of the harmony and balance between the natural and the supernatural, the human and the divine, and the mundane and the sublime.
