The head is characteristic of the Sukhothai Kingdom era in Thailand, which is considered the cradle of Thai culture. This style is known for its serene and contemplative expression.
Facial Features: The face is often described as having a symmetrical, perfect oval shape with a gentle smile, downcast, heavy-lidded eyes, arched eyebrows, a narrow nose, and elongated earlobes.
Hair and Ushnisha:An ushnisha is the prominent cranial protuberance or bun of hair on the top of a Buddha's head symbolizing his spiritual wisdom and enlightenment, a key feature in Buddhist art representing his perfected knowledge beyond ordinary understanding, often depicted as a topknot, flame, or lotus, and is one of the thirty-two major physical marks of a great man.
I bought it 40 years ago at an estate sale.I had it on display on a shelf in my home, but I am downsizing now. It looks like it was broken off a statue a long time ago.
