Español: Buda predicando, periodo Mon-Dvaravati

Una figura de Buda de pie, con una pátina oscura y veteada de verde, se alza sobre un fondo negro. La mano derecha está levantada frente al pecho, la izquierda cuelga abierta a un costado, y una túnica drapeada con una estola sobre el hombro cae hasta los pies.
