This rare carving of the infant Buddha with well defined features is clearly a provincial rendering that uniquely departs from traditional renderings. He holds a monk’s begging bowl as he points to the heavens and he stands on a lion’s head rather than a lotus, demonstrating that Shakyamuni Buddha is the lion of the Shakya clan. Given its small size, it was probably displayed on a home altar.

While there is total loss to the arms, legs and torso, it is virtually untouched from the neck up. This is a piece for lovers of wood, with the the body worn to a delicately smooth but irregular surface. It is probably more striking than original piece, as its erosion shows the random miracle of chance.

Lao carved Buddha statues are renowned for their delicacy and refinement. This elegant antique Buddha is depicted in the “Calling for Rain” mudra found only in Laos with his half-closed gazing downward in meditation. His narrow hips, elegant gestures, and slim hands reinforce the graceful curves of the body and the Buddha’s gentleness. He wears a three-part monk’s robe that flares out lyrically reaching to just above his ankles. The totality of the curvature and proportions with an oversized head indicate the perfection, wisdom and compassion of the “Enlightened One.”.The image stands on an unusually high multi-tiered circular and waisted base. Carved Laotian images as old and elegant as this are rare. This is part of the VA Spiritual-and-Inspirational Collection
