Description: The kingdom of Sukhothai (from the Sanskrit word sukhodya, meaning the advent of happiness), flourished for nearly two centuries in Thailand from thirteenth century onwards. This kingdom marks an important era in not only the political identity of Thailand, but is also significant for the development of a unique and typical iconography of Buddha Shakyamuni. In this image, representative of Sukhothai aesthetics, the Buddha's face is slightly oval, and the ears long and crescent shaped with pointed ends. The most significant aspect of the Sukhothai Buddha is however the towering flame at the top of his head, signifying his enlightened wisdom. The head is covered with curving hair, and the Buddha has a hooked nose and downward gaze. Indeed, an image imbued with spiritual tranquility, as much as aesthetic merit. Cast and crafted in Thailand, this Idol stands 9.5 inches tall.
