Page image
Document source description
This image stands somewhat apart from the images that appear to have been made in Ayutthaya itself in about the 1st quarter of the 15th century. It has a radiance in the form of a spike or elongated gem, rather than a flame; it is deep; and the pedestal is less contracted and does not have a vertically edged element at the bottom. It must, therefore, be the product of a different region, possibly Suphanburi or Sanburi.In the new Sukhothai and related styles, there is an ideal facial shape. The U Thong-style sculptor tends to proceed somewhat differently, working outward from the facial features, focusing on the expressive mouth and eyebrows, with only a general notion of proper facial shape.
