Reclining Buddha Statues

Explore reclining Buddha statues, a form most closely associated with the Buddha’s final passing into Parinirvana. In Southeast Asian Buddhist art, reclining figures appear in wood, bronze, stone and lacquer, ranging from intimate devotional sculpture to monumental temple images.

This collection may include antique and older examples from Burma (Myanmar), Thailand and Laos. Regional traditions differ in facial modelling, robe treatment, pillow form, proportions and surface finish, while age and material can add further variation through gilding, lacquer, patina and wear.
