Ancient Khmer Kingdom, representation of Buddha in vitarka mudra position

Cambodia
12th-13th century

The Buddha is represented in a standing position called samapada and is dressed in the uttarasanga monastic garment covered with a mantle (samgathi) placed directly on the body revealing a protruding torso as well as a slightly rounded abdomen. The forearms are uncovered, the arms bent, detached from the body, the hands in vitarka mudra position (argument gesture), the right hand at chest height with the palm turned outwards, the left hand at chest height abdomen, palm facing the sky.
The Awakened One presents hair tied in a high triple bun delimited by a fine border, the neck decorated with the three classic folds of beauty, the ears presenting lobes distended by the weight of the ornaments that the Buddha once wore in his worldly life.
The face has broad brow ridges surmounting lenticular eyes, the latter above a flat nose, the mouth with full lips.
