Iconography and Symbolism

The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the iconic gesture of the 'touching of the earth'. This moment symbolizes the Buddha's enlightenment, in which he invokes the earth as a witness to his steadfastness. The serene facial expression, the flame-shaped 'ushnisha' (spiritual wisdom), and the elegant, flowing lines are typical of the classic Thai ideal.

Craftsmanship and Patina

This statue is cast in bronze and displays a beautiful, dark patina with subtle traces of wear that bear witness to its age and ceremonial use. The casting is detailed, from the fine curls of the hair to the folds in the monk's robe falling over the shoulder. A timeless piece of Asian heritage.
