Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya: Seated Buddha

THAILAND, Surat Thani; 551–650; Sandstone; H: 107 cm; Chaiya National Museum, Thailand
The statue was discovered at Wat Phra Borommathat, Chaiya. The Buddha 's usnisa is barely discernible as he sits in peaceful meditation with head inclined slightly forward. The eyes are lowered and the pronounced lips are expressive. The figure sits in half lotus position on a double lotus throne with hands in dhyana (meditation) mudra. The presence of a monastic robe is only indicated by faint hem lines, possibly showing the influence of southern India or Sri Lanka.
