- Founded in 1350 by a Thai prince who ascended the throne under the name of Ramathibodi I, the kingdom of Thailand was formerly called "Siam", that is to say "dark", "brown". Thai art flourished in the 14th-15th centuries, serving Buddhism, the most widespread religion in the kingdom. Music was developed to accompany dance dramas and shadow theater where it played an important role. Thai musicians, trained by demanding masters, had an excellent memory: indeed, the songs were learned by heart and the performances, especially those of the Khon theater, could last twenty hours! This gilded bronze statue represents an ancient musician from the Khon theater, playing the lute. Its enigmatic serenity recalls the first sculptures, in stone or bronze, which advocated a hieratic style.
