Description

In the cave, there is a Buddha image sculptured on the wall with a gesture of sitting in the European style and giving a sermon according to Buddhist art in the Dvaravati Period (5th-7th Century). It is widely known as Phra Phutthachai Tham Ruesi Khao Ngu. It has a flat face, connected eyebrows forming the shape of parenthesis, bulging eyes, flat nose, bolded mouth, large curls, and his halo on the top of the head is in the shape of a lotus bud. Between his ankles, there is an inscription of Pallava scripts in Sanskrit language which can be transcribed into the phrase Punyakarmachara Srisamadhigupta, which means Phra Srisamadhigupta is purified by making merit. It is one important evidence of arts in the Dvaravati era.
