Bronze Walking Buddha from the Sukhothai period in Thailand depicting the Buddha in motion which is a departure from the more common postures of standing, sitting or lying down. The walking Buddha is shown with his right hand raised in the gesture of reassurance, known as abhayamudra. This gesture and the depiction of Buddha walking are symbolic as his role as teacher while walking amongst the people.
