Dong Duong: Standing Buddha
VIETNAM, Quang Nam, Thang Binh
This Buddha shows obvious Indian influences as a product of the Champa Kingdom (circa 7th century–1382). Characteristics of his status include the snail shell curls on the head leading to a low usnisa, an urna on the forehead, and three lines on the neck. The monastic robe leaves the right shoulder bare and the folds are depicted as falling diagonally on the left and vertically on the right. The right hand is lifted in vitarka (teaching) mudra and the robe falling from the left forearm drops free of the body, while elsewhere the material allows the body’s shape to show through.
