The bronze has a deep natural patina with wear consistent with prolonged devotional use. Its open underside reveals a rough aged interior with mineral deposits and no evident modern closure.DetailsDepiction: Seated BuddhaGesture: Bhumisparsha mudraOrigin: ThailandStyle: RattanakosinPeriod: 19th centuryMaterial: BronzeDimensions: H 55.2 × W 38.3 cmWeight: Approximately 15 kgBase: Broad lotus pedestal with open underside
