History of Thai Buddha images

History of Thai Buddha images

The history of the evolution of the Thai Buddha images has gone through many changes and eras in the Thai history. These images were crafted by using various raw materials like stone, wood, clay or metal casts. Though there are two branches of Buddhism practiced in Thailand whose division dates back to the Dvaravati age of the Thai history, the Buddha images from Thailand are seen greatly influenced by the Gupta/Indian styles of Buddha images. The Mahayana tradition of Buddhism are seen to have inspired the Buddha images from SriVijaya era in the Southern part of Thailand, which were created between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. In another part of the history in Thailand, the way of portraying Buddha into Buddha images changed greatly due to the influence of new Buddhist ideas from the Buddhism of Sri Lanka. This era, more known as the Sukothai period, had the Buddha images developed with the intention of representing the superhuman and supernatural abilities of the Buddha. They were also designed to portray compassion and serenity in the facial expressions of the images. The images from the Sukothai period introduced the four modern and prominent postures of the Buddha images from Thailand which are walking, standing, sitting and reclining. Overtime, in many different locations within the kingdom of Thailand, the form and styles of the Buddha images have gone through many subtle changes by developing a different characteristics that portray the indigenous and cultural values of the local area while the craftsmanship reflecting the influencing of other countries and period.
