About the workCrowned and richly adorned, Buddha gazes towards the faithful, his hands raised in a teaching gesture. He is portrayed in the role of a ruler and founder of religion, a representation that refers to the historical Buddha. Originally from a noble family, he renounced all worldly temptations and lived as a monk. This Buddhist figure comes from the Khmer region in Cambodia. The angular and somewhat broad face is characteristic of the style of Angkor Wat, the famous temple complex from the twelfth century.
