Details: A rare and attractive example of an 8th to 9th century Dvaravati bronze standing Buddha. It is clear the caster of this early image did well to impart such a state of peaceful transcendence in a small bronze, not an easy task for artisans who were more comfortable working in stone rather than bronze.
