Name: Antique Thai Buddha Statue in Bhumisparsha Mudra – Fire-Gilded Bronze, 19th Century
Description: This is an authentic Thai Buddha statue in the classic Bhumisparsha mudra, cast in bronze and originally fire-gilded. In the recessed areas and folds, old gold is clearly visible, embedded in the surface rather than layered on top, typical of traditional fire-gilding. The design is sober and powerful, with a calm posture and a correctly executed lotus base. The interior shows a rough casting structure with natural oxidation and no modern coatings, confirming its age. This type of statue was used as a home altar and is intended for personal devotion. Compact in size but heavily made, with an honest, lived-in appearance.
