Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $350**

Southeast Asia, Thailand or Burma (Myanmar), ca. early 20th century CE. A charming cast brass statue of the Buddha, standing on an integral circular pedestal. This slender and tall Buddha is shown with flowing kasaya robes falling to his ankles and covering one shoulder. One hand forms a Vitarka mudra, a gesture of intellectual discussion and Buddhist teachings. His face has a tranquil visage of downcast eyes, broad nose, and full lips. His ears are elongated to symbolize casting off heavy jewelry and his ability to hear cries of suffering. His coiffure consists of individual nodules of curls that gather into a topknot. His shoulder and head are framed by a disc shaped halo. Size: 4.25" W x 15.25" H (10.8 cm x 38.7 cm)

Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
