Walking Buddha in Vitarka Mudra

Material: Brass

Origin: U-Thong, Thailand

Height: 29.5 cm

Code: TS-008

Another "Walking Buddha" image or “Phra Leela” but without a lotus base.

This statue resembles closer to the U-Thong era. Unlike the Sukhothai-styled statues, U-Thong statues are simpler in design, closer to the Indian style and without the elaborate elegance of the Sukhothai style. Notice the unisha of this statue is less pointed than the Sukhothai-styled statues.
