Demonstrating classic Northern Sukhothai facial features of an oval face effecting a serene & meditative expression, with arched eyebrows over heavily lidded & downward gazing eyes, together with a ‘beaked’ nose over recessed upturned lips. Minor losses noted. Mounted atop an associated & partially gilded metal base.
