Dong Duong: Buddha as a Monk
VIETNAM, Quang Nam, Thang Binh
This sculpture was unearthed from Dong Duong in Thang Binh. It was found beside one of the numerous altars at a temple in the old palace. The figure kneels on a lotus base and holds a large lotus. The upward gazing Buddha has a large nose and thick lips that form an obvious smile. The presence of a usnisa covered by curls and the monastic robe that leaves the right shoulder bare identify this statue as a Buddha. Since there is no other form of identification, the statue is simply known as “Buddha Monk” by the locals.
