South-Est Asian Art A large Pang proht sat Buddha Thailandia, Ayutthaya (1351-1767), 17th century . . Cm 25,00 x 64,50. A large cast bronze with brown patina depicting the standing Buddha, with his right hand raised in abhayamudra and his left arm stretched along the side. Abhayamudra, or the gesture of "removing fear", is part of the typical Buddhist iconography and very popular in Thai Buddhist statuary. In Thailand, sculptures of the standing Buddha, with one hand in abhayamudra, form the group of the so-called Pang Proht sat Buddha, or the one who“ rejects the furious animal ”. As a matter of fact, the Buddhist Chronicles say that Prince Gautama, with this gesture, subdued the elephant that had attacked him.
