Footnotes
Seated on a lotus throne comprised of gently curling lotus petals with stamens resembling a beaded cushion. It is set on a hexagonal decorative pedestal with openwork motifs. He wears a dhoti and is adorned with royal jewellery. The softly modelled face has a serene expression with downcast eyes, under arched eyebrows that converge into the bridge of the nose. His hands form bhumisparsa mudra, the earth touching gesture, which signified victory over Mara and his army.
Compare the treatment of the jewellery to a mid-16th century bejewelled Buddha in the British Museum FBInd.5.a, as well as two early 16th-century Buddhas in royal attire published in Hiram W. Woodward, Jr., The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand: The Alexander B. Griswold Collection, The Walters Art Gallery, USA, 1997, pp. 219-220, cat. 77 and fig. 215.
