Description
This Thai bronze Phra Upakut is depicted seated in the Earth-Touching (Bhumisparsha Mudra) posture beneath a broad leaf hat, symbolising steadfastness, spiritual resolve, and the Buddha’s moment of enlightenment. The composition reflects the devotional traditions associated with Phra Upakut in Thai Buddhist culture, where he is revered as an enlightened arahant.
Distinctive elements—including the characteristic leaf hat, serene facial expression, monastic robe, and lotus pedestal with decorative motifs—express the stylistic vocabulary of traditional Thai devotional sculpture. The bronze surface displays a developed warm brown patina with areas of natural surface variation, giving the statue a mature and characterful appearance.
With a height of 18 cm, it offers an elegant display piece suitable for a home altar, meditation space, or a curated collection of Thai Buddhist sculpture.
Dimensions: 14 × 9 × 18 cm (L × W × H)
