This is a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha sitting in a peaceful expression, his right hand palm down on his right knee, usually called the earth-touching mudra, which is the gesture he made when he attained enlightenment and called the earth to witness. His left hand holds the meditation mudra on his abdomen. The Buddha’s face is calm, his eyes are drooping, his long ears touching his shoulder, the hair has spiral curls, his robe is draped over his left shoulder, and the knot is up on his left shoulder. This clearly inherits the ancient Indian Gupta style and has some changes. The robe itself is very thin, almost transparent, and the upper edge of the eye socket protrudes, forming a sharp carving edge. The statue is made of bronze and may come from the south of Siam (now Thailand) or Sumatra, around the 8th century, during the Srivijaya period.
