Thailand Sukhothai Style 15th century. This exceptional example of the Sukhothai style radiates the unshakable calm and resolute spiritual power that have given generations of Buddhist believers confidence that faith ultimately triumphs over evil and adversity. The gesture of the right hand lowered with the palm turned inward - Bhumisparsamudra - records the Buddha's triumph over the patron of worldly vanities, the Mara, The Evil One. Thorani, mother goddess of the earth, unbinds the tresses of her hair and unleashes a flood that washes away Mara, destroying his imposing armies and mischievous harem. Buddha's Enlightenment is thus associated with the earth goddess, Thorani, worshipped throughout pre -Buddhist Asia, which may help explain its near universal popularity in Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Sri Lanka.
