Description
This Thai Wednesday Buddha is depicted in the Receiving Alms (Paang Um Baat) posture, representing humility, compassion, and the disciplined path of the monastic life. The standing form reflects the traditional association of this posture with Wednesday in Thai Buddhist belief.
The composition is rendered in a devotional sculptural tradition, with the Buddha standing upon an integrated base accompanied by symbolic animal figures. Such narrative elements are commonly found in temple-oriented works, where the imagery serves both spiritual and illustrative purposes.
Distinctive features — including the upright stance, extended hands in alms gesture, and gently defined robe lines — convey a grounded and contemplative presence. The bronze surface displays a mature, time-softened tone, with traces of applied gold leaf from devotional use, enhancing its spiritual character.
With a height of 31 cm, the piece offers a balanced presence suitable for display, personal altar use, or quiet reflection.
Dimensions: 26 × 12 × 31 cm (L × W × H)
