The U Thong Style is one of the definitive styles for Buddha icons which developed in Thailand (Siam) in the southern capital of Ayutthaya.[1] There are three distinct periods for the style, 12th to 13th century, 13th to 14th century and 13th to the 15th century, with some obvious overlap.
Features common to all three types include:
- Small band between the hairline and forehead
- Robe draped with a long flap from the left shoulder ending in a straight line
- Fingers of unequal length
- Hairstyle is small, somewhat-spiky curls
- Seated, with the legs folded
- Simple concave base
