 While many other Buddha statues from the same period have long, hanging earlobes, the Toluvila statue lacks this feature.Another unusual feature is three lines that have been carved into the front of the neck that are believed to have been influenced by the Mathura School of India.It is possible that seated Buddha images, such as the one found at the Wat Phra Borom That temple in Chaiya, Thailand, may have been influenced to some extent by statues of the Anuradhapura period like the Toluvila statue.
