Avukana Buddha statue, Sri Lanka 斯里蘭卡的奧卡納佛像

The tall, erect statue of the Buddha at Aukana. His feet firmly placed on a stone pedestal, is another sculptural marvel of the ancient Sinbalese. The statue stands 39 feet tall on its lotus plinth and was carved between the 7th and 10th centuries - citing the style of the robe of the period. Once covered, the statue now stands exposed to rain and sunshine and remains in immaculate condition.
