This Pendant depicts the buddha in Walking Pose (Lila). The images of the Walking Buddha are unique to the 13-14th centuries in Thailand.

After gaining enlightenment through meditation, Shakyamuni, the historic Buddha, devoted his life to teaching others the path to salvation. The Walking Buddha is a representation of him as a wandering teacher, with one hand raised in a symbolic gesture meaning fear not.

This image is elegant, tranquil yet moving and flowing. The undulating, flowing curves seen here are typical of the classic Thai style, which emphasized an elongated body with simple curves.

This piece is imported from Thailand. Size is approx. 2" long. Made from brass with the image stamped into both sides. Due to the handmade nature of these pieces, each is slightly different in the image details, patina finish and shape. Includes a cotton cord and pouch.
