A distinctive style of sculpture developed there, with iconographic elements derived from India, but with a unique native style, especially to the facial features of the Buddha, where thr beauty of sharply delineated eyes and stylised curling full lips is particularly apparent. These features impart an almost piercing serenity that is distinctive to Thai images from this early period of sculptural production in Southeast Asia. Another Mon Dvaravati stone head of the Buddha of similar size was sold at Christie`s New York, 22nd March 2022, lot 463.
