POWERFUL LARGE 18^TH C. U-THONG TORSO

22 inches tall, 27 1/2 inches with the stand.  Dark reddish-brown smooth patina.  This figure has a deeply meditative, soulful face, which is what immediately attracted me; as well as graceful lines.  It has features of both the Ayutthaya and U-Thong styles – one can see both the Khmer and Thai influences in its face. The condition is excellent.  This has sat in arrays with multiple other figures, and this is one that your eyes are invariably drawn to.
