Burmese Folk Art Buddha

Carved in Northern Thailand in the traditional Burmese "folk art style" this simple, yet compelling Buddha sits in the "Vitarka" (gestrue of debate) posture. The position of the right hand emphasizes the message of Buddha's teachings. Carved in teak wood and finished with an antique crackle finish, the Buddha is 18" high and 12" wide and is an outstanding example of traditional folk art.
