The statue depicts the Buddha in bhumisparsha mudra, the gesture in which the earth is invoked as a witness to enlightenment. Based on style, proportions, and construction, it can be convincingly placed within the Thai Sukhothai–Ayutthaya tradition, dated to circa 1500–1650.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slender build, soft modeling of the chest and shoulders, and the restrained, serene facial expression suggest a transitional style between late Sukhothai and early Ayutthaya. The statue rests on a carefully crafted double lotus base with a central textile-like panel on the front, a feature typical of Thai temple statues from this period.\n\nExamination of the surface and under UV light revealed remnants of original fire gilding in sheltered zones. This confirms that the statue was originally (partially) gilded, as is customary for important temple statues, and that the gold has largely disappeared due to centuries of ritual use.\n\nThe underside is open and shows clear traces of the traditional lost-wax casting technique. Visible core plugs and a partially preserved core pin confirm a manual, pre-industrial production process. Additionally, remnants of an old organic seal, consisting of resinous and wax-like material, are visible on the inside. This seal was used to close structural openings and is part of the original temple practice. The material is fully integrated into the natural oxidation layer and confirms long-term, continuous use in a tropical climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior shows heavy natural oxidation with mineralization and salt deposition, incompatible with modern manufacturing or subsequent restoration. Stamped numbers are present on the same interior that are not part of the original production.
