Description
Seated in the bhumisparsa mudra, or earth witnessing posture, this beautiful cast bronze Buddha image is in the Sukhothai style, characterized by the Buddha??????????s spiritual intensity, graceful contours and long attenuated earlobes.
The Buddha statue has been gilded in 24ct gold leaf; Thais traditionally impress gold leaf upon Buddha images as an act of respect and devotion, especially on special dates of the Buddhist calendar. The gold gild has worn off in places over time.
