History of production-
ArtThis Buddha image is similar to Amaravvati-Langa art. This is because the protruding halo is not high. It is a standing buddha with a robe covering half of the body and the edge of the robe leans on the left arm. Both hands are lifted in parellel showing Vitaraka Mudra., which is a very common attitude in Lanka art. Therefore, it can be concluded that this Buddha image is heavily influenced by Southern India- Lanka art. However, the robe is a of a stright pattern of Kupta and Vakadaka.
