Cast resin statue of the Buddha, teacher of compassion toward all beings and of moderation in all things. The delicate detail of the face, the pointed crown or "usnisa", and the folded robe over one shoulder are classic elements of ancient Thai and Lao Buddhist artistic canon. The Buddha is seated in the vipassana, or the half-lotus poses, with hands resting in his lap in traditional meditation mudra. An attractive home decor accent or addition for a personal shrine.
