In Theravada Buddhism there is an emphasis on the Buddha Shakyamuni. This type of standing figure was popular in Thai and Burmese art. The Buddha stands with his right hand raised in the gesture of giving freedom from fear (abhaya mudra). The figure was made in Ayutthaya then the wealthy and cosmopolitan capital of Thailand.
