National Museum, Bangkok. Some of the finest sculpture in Southeast Asia comes from Srivijaya, an early Mahayana Buddhist kingdom which, in its heyday, included much of present day peninsular Thailand, Java, Sumatra, and Malaya. This delicate yet powerful Mucalinda, carved in the medieval period at the old Srivijayan center of Chaiya, harkens back to the earlier Srivijayan style. Stereoscopic photograph from around 1910. Photograph on dry glass plate from the Herry W. Schaefer collection.
