Product description
Physical Dimensions & Status Height: 24.5 cm | Width: 8.5 cm | Weight: 400 grams Unique object — definitively not available again once sold. This authentic, hand-carved temple statue from Northern Thailand is a unique example of the historical Lanna tradition. The Buddha is carved from a single solid block of teak wood and seated in the powerful Bhumisparsha Mudra, the moment he calls the earth to witness his enlightenment. The combination of original red lacquer, remnants of gold leaf, and a centuries-old patina lends this statue an exceptionally time-honored appearance. The elongated flame-shaped ushnisha, the characteristic triangular earlobes, and the serene facial expression are consistent with the traditional sculpture of the former Lanna Kingdom. This is not a decorative reproduction, but a historical temple object with a tangible spiritual history. ✓ Authentic temple statue: Hand-carved from a single solid block of teak wood. ✓ Lanna style: Characteristic 19th-century Northern Thai iconography. ✓ Original finish: Remnants of historical red lacquer and gold leaf are still present. ✓ Bhumisparsha Mudra: Symbolizes enlightenment, steadfastness, and spiritual victory. ✓ Time-honored authenticity: Old stress cracks, historical temple repair, and honest signs of use. ✓ Includes: Official certificate of authenticity from 1stbuddha.
