This spiritually symbolic figure is richly adorned with delicate incised floral motifs across the robe and cushion, reflecting traditional Southeast Asian craftsmanship. The Buddha sits atop a lotus-petal base, further embellished with stylised geometric banding and floral detailing.

The base features a hand-engraved inscription in Thai script, indicating provenance or dedication — typical of votive or commemorative religious works intended for temple or shrine display.

Crafted from patinated bronze, the statue has retained a rich, aged patina with traces of oxidation, enhancing its visual and historic appeal. See less
