He sits with one leg down in the forest pose while a monkey and an elephant step in with gifts. The animals are part of the Parileyya story: they stayed near him in the woods and offered honeycomb and fruit. On a Thai home altar, this is the evening half of Wednesday. The morning figure is the standing alms-bowl pose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHouseholds often match the image to the weekday of birth. That is custom.

Wax is modeled to the pose, a heat-proof shell is built around it, and the wax is burned out. Bronze is poured into the empty mold. Once cool, the shell comes off, and the small animals and the robe edge are finished by hand.
