Source Description
Although the position of the hand might suggest that this image was made earlier, 13th-century bronzes seem to offer nothing really close in expression. The firmness and sobriety of this expression suggest a sculptor so out-of-tune with the times that he is something of a scold. This image may be the product of an ethnically distinct workshop, maintaining ties to the Khmer tradition.
