The fiery sun plays across a beautiful image carved in stone. Thotsapon demonstrates the Buddha imagery of the Sukhothai Empire, which reigned in Thailand from the 13th to the 15th century. Characterized by an oval face, arching eyebrows, a long hooked nose and a smiling expression, the sculpture always features tightly curled locks of hair.
Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist nation, filled with breathtaking ancient temples, pagodas and other architectural wonders constructed to worship Buddha. In Thailand images of Buddha play an important role beyond mere decoration. They are traditionally placed within the home in special locations, such as shrines or pedestals, to help facilitate everyday religious worship.
