Griswold (1956), this statuette belongs to the U Thong (U Tong) "A" style, which is predominated by Dvarvati influence. This is a frontal image of the Budha with legs apart and feet square on the ground. Both hands are raised in the symbolic gesture of "fear not." Palms face out, each showing a wheel of law in low relief. Lips are incised with double lines. Hair curls are crowned with a flame finial. The Buddha wears two layers of thin and clinging garment, allowing the smooth and luminous contour of the body and limbs to "shine through." The Buddha's sarong-like undergarment is gathered between his legs forming a central pleat.Sculpture19326137750Unidentified artistThai75.053.010.1stview
