This bronze head portrays the Buddha's serenity and "classic" Sukhothai elements. With heavy-lidded eyes gazing downwards in blissful contemplation, his arched brow gives rise to a beaked nose, beneath which a gentle smile plays out across his lips. Compare two other "classic" Sukhothai examples in the Walters Art Museum, both attributed to the second half of the 14th century and displaying similarly nasal bridges, recessed lips, and upswept eyes (Woodward, The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand, 1997, pp. 154 & 156, figs. 155 & 157).
