The right hand touches the earth in the Bhumisparsha mudra, one of the most powerful postures within the Buddhist statue tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nThis earth-touching posture refers to the moment of enlightenment, in which the Buddha remains steadfast and calls upon the earth as a witness. The meaning of this image lies in grounding, protection, inner strength, spiritual clarity, and overcoming doubt.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nThe statue has the elegant, slender proportions characteristic of the Thai Rattanakosin style, with long fingers, a refined body shape, and a tall, flame-shaped ushnisha. The antique gilding, red underlayer, dark bronze color, and natural wear give the object a deep, ritual appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nThe open underside shows old core remnants of clay and sand, consistent with traditional bronze casting techniques. Together with the heavy weight, the thick casting wall, and the weathered surface, this supports a dating in the 19th or early 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top:1px solid #b08d57; border-bottom:1px solid #b08d57; padding:18px 0; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eRepresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seated Buddha on double lotus base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eMudra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bhumisparsha mudra, the earth-touching posture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eMeaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grounding, protection, inner strength, enlightenment, and spiritual steadfastness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy cast bronze with antique gilding and red underlayer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eOrigin \/ style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thailand, Rattanakosin style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eDating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Probably 19th century to early 20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 44 × W 33 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.2 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0;\"\u003e\n\nA powerful and meaningful Thai Buddha statue for those seeking a heavy, authentic-looking, and spiritually strong object for an interior, altar, meditation spot, or collection of Asian art.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57326734770507,"sku":"397","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/antiek-thai-rattanakosin-boeddha-brons.jpg?v=1778917991","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/antique-thai-rattanakosin-buddha-statue-19th-century-heavy-bronze-with-old-gilding","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
