Standing Buddha in "Abhayamudra"

Thai (Sculptor)
14th century
leaded bronze, black lacquer, patina
(Southeast Asia )

Ordinary notions of stylistic development would suggest that this image dates earlier, but evidently somewhere there was a conservative workshop that produced images of this type through the 14th and even into the 15th century.
