| Buddha image in U Thong style | |
Thai Sculptures (Buddha images) in the Bhumiphassa mudra The Bhumiphassa Buddha is always depicted in a seated position, with its right hand resting on its knee and fingers pointing towards the earth. U-Thong-style Typical of U Thong Buddha images is a small band between the hairline and the forehead. The head features small curls. The face of the Buddha image is rather square with Mon and Khmer characteristics. During the early period the ushnisha (prominent bump on the top of Buddha's head) is topped by a lotus. The robe is draped in the open mode with a long flap over the left shoulder ending above the navel. |
