Head of the Buddha
Thailand, Mon-Dvaravati
7th–8th century

This head of the Buddha is distinguished by the meditative elegance associated with Buddhist art of the Dvaravati kingdom, named after numismatic evidence that identifies a polity of that name. The aesthetic is unique to this region, and is best understood as emerging from the pan-Asian style of Gupta India, centered at Sarnath, northern India. Mon-Dvaravati Buddhist culture prospered around a network of moated urban settlements (Thai muang) that reflected the prosperity of Buddhist Thailand at this time and demonstrate that this region had connections that extended to India and beyond.
