This figurine is 3D printed and painted in a metallic gold finish. The Buddha sits cross-legged on a layered lotus base with the right hand reaching down to touch the earth, the pose known as bhumisparsha mudra. The robe falls in soft folds over the shoulder, and the face is smooth, with lowered eyes and a tall topknot.
The earth-touching pose, sometimes described as the Buddha calling the earth to witness, is among the most common images in Thailand and Laos. A figurine this size fits on a bookshelf, a desk or a small altar table. Dust it with a soft brush and keep it out of damp so the gold paint stays bright.
