This is a very early Northern Thai Buddha which pre-dates the usual types of Northern Thai Buddhas typically seen in books and in the market place. It has significant influence from Sri Lanka. It is likely 12th-13th century and could be as early as 11th century. This Buddha won first place in a Buddha contest in Thailand. (I have the certificate which has a photo of the Buddha on it.) The face is quite different from any other type of Thai Buddha I have owned. A true collector's item. 6.75"
