Without a doubt one of the most famous Buddha heads in the world and the iconic image from the ruins of Ayutthaya is the head entwined in the tree roots at Wat Mahathat. Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese in 1767. Although there are various theories nobody really know for sure how this head wound up as it is found today.
