Seated Buddha with a pointed aura (Thai rasi / flame aureole) behind the head and shoulders. Gold-tone cast bronze (the URL still says brass; the product title is bronze). About 11 inches tall.
The right hand reaches down in the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra): calling the earth to witness at the moment of enlightenment, after the assault of Mara. The left hand rests in the lap. The robes, base, and tall, flame-shaped halo are typical of Thai temple-style images.
A finished altar or shelf piece. Handle with a soft, dry cloth. Do not soak or scrub the finish.
