Description
**First Time At Auction**
Southeast Asia, Thailand, ca. 10th to 13th century CE. A large votive plaque, mold made from ceramic, from the Mon Kingdom of Dvararati, which had as one of its principal cities Haripunchai, located in modern day northern Thailand. The plaque depicts the Buddha in the Bhumisparsha mudra, with his right hand over the right knee reaching towards the ground and the palm inward and touching the lotus throne. His left hand lies open in his lap. This mudra represents the moment of his awakening, as he defeated the demon Mara, and claimed the earth as his witness to his enlightenment. The arched lintel over the Buddha's head is reflective of the architectural style of the Mon Kingdom. Size: 5" W x 6.2" H (12.7 cm x 15.7 cm)
