Thai Wood Standing Buddha, Based

A rough, cracked base and a calm face above it.

This standing Buddha of pine wood was made in Thailand in the late 19th or early 20th century. Standing images of the Buddha are commonly made for temple and household use in Thailand. The carving is simple and straight, with the robe falling in long panels down the body and one arm held out from the side. The pale wood shows cracks, small knots and weathering, especially at the base, where the lotus-like pedestal has a gnarled look. A black square stand supports it.

About 42 inches tall. Weathered, which suits it.
