Dark Buddha lek lai in Summer Attire

A seated figure in summer attire. The body is dark. The hands rest in the lap. A gold crown covers the head, and a dark point rises above the finial. Gold paint covers the collar, chest piece, leaf shapes at the shoulders, and bands at the arms and wrists. A small ring shows at one wrist in the photograph. The base is tiered. A gold band of petals sits above a gold panel worked in a diamond lattice, and a band of gold flowers runs around the foot. A red edge shows under the base.

The title names the material lek lai and translates that name as steel eel. The photographs do not show a separate mineral. One old tag also calls the cast resin. The costume is the jeweled hot-season dress associated with the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok. This figure is dark, and it is not the image in the temple. Your link is for the 11-inch size. The 19-inch size is on the same page. Both are in stock. The pictures do not show the two sizes side by side.

Choose one statue in the size you want. Dust it. The gold paint will chip if you scrub it.
