The Buddha is seated in the iconic Bhumisparsha mudra on a high, monumental wooden base, giving this piece a serene and powerful presence on a home altar or in a meditative space.\n\nThe sculpture breathes pure history and bears the distinctive stylistic features of the ancient Northern Thai Lanna Kingdom. This is expressed in the elongated, upward-sloping flame knot on the head (ushnisha), the striking triangular earlobes, and the somewhat naive yet deeply spiritual facial features.

The natural 'soft wear' on the friction points subtly reveals the black lacquerwork beneath the gold leaf, bearing witness to a centuries-old history.
