Full body Buddha, made during the reign of Mongkut (Rama IV), one of the most important Siam monarchs of the Chakri dynasty. The sublimity of the face stands out, with half-closed eyes and serene expression, as well as the fine details that describe the sumptuous robe. The figure adopts with the hands the Mudra Abbhaya Mudra, showing the palms from a frontal point of view. Two flowers appear on them. He poses his feet on a stepped pyramidal throne, also in bronze.
