This example of a Lao Buddha features lacquer work still in good condition from the 1700s, which would place it during the three kingdoms period of Laos/Lan Xang.
There isn't a significant amount of information available about this particular example or its current whereabouts, but as you can see, it continues the Lao traditional techniques, featuring a distinctive face with a noteworthy smile one rarely finds in other Buddhas from other traditions.
