Antique Khmer Style Khmer Lotus Flower Buddha Head - 22cm/9"
Measures - (Height) 22cm/9"
An antique Khmer style bronze Buddha head from Cambodia.
The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. His eyes are downcasts as he extends grace to devotees.
The Buddha has a large lotus bud shaped ushnisha protuberance on top of his head symbolizing his high level of spiritual development.
The lotus flower represents the attaining of enlightenment and the ultimate fulfilment that follows. This symbol is heavily used in Eastern religions, which is why it can appear as both a held item or a seat. Some say that as the lotus flower grows in dirty water but becomes something beautiful, it demonstrates how we must forget our attachments to the material world around us and focus on our inner spirituality in order to seek happiness.
Arched eyebrows, moustache, expressive lips, aquiline nose and open eyes define the face. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings.
The Buddha is mounted on a wood base.
The sculpture provides the perfect traditional in appearance Buddha to bring serenity and timeless style to your home, office or sacred space.

While Thailand is predominantly a Buddhist country, the influence of Hinduism, particularly through the worship of Shiva, has left an indelible mark on the nation’s cultural and religious identity.
From the art and architecture of ancient temples to modern-day rituals and festivals, Shiva’s presence is deeply embedded in Thai society.
