Legs crossed, both hands in the lap, palms up, right over left.

The metal is \u003cstrong\u003ecast bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e (listed in older copy as brass). Thai foundries form the figure in wax, wrap it in clay, fire the mold so the wax leaves, pour molten bronze, then break the shell and finish the surface. That is why the robe folds and the face stays crisp, and why the statue has weight; resin “birthday Buddhas” do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn Thai and Lao homes, it is common to keep the Buddha of the weekday you were born. In popular custom, Thursday is tied to a calm mind and honest speech. That is household belief, not a promise about health or luck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eSet on an altar, bookcase, or quiet shelf. Dust with a dry cloth.
