Description

This stucco head reflects a very local and short time fashion in representation of the Buddha in Northern Thailand. His emaciated face is called dynamic and embodies all the power of the Enlightened when He was fasting and receiving the Illumination. Usually standing on a temple tower, where the four sides shelter those fragile sculptures, those representations of the Buddha are very rare. - (HK.5)
