Description An antique Khmer style Buddha Torso.?? The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow.?? The bodies profile is with broad shoulders and slender waist, covered by a Sanghati robe worn diagonally over the left shoulder, and is graced by a heavily pleated flap draped to the navel, marked with a fishtail shaped notch. The right shoulder is left bare.?? The Buddha features an oval face, with almond shaped downcast eyes. Curved eyebrows meet above a prominent nose, and contoured lips with an exalted expression, appear smiling. The shell like curls of the hair frame the face, surmounted by a hemispherical ushnisha, topped by a flamed ornamental lotus flower finial, symbolizing his high level of spiritual development. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. The surface of the Buddha has a deep green malachite patina. The torso is mounted on a wood base.?
