About this work
This pristinely modeled Buddha was fashioned from a sheet of 24-karat gold, using the repoussé (hammering) technique. The figure is filled inside with a resin core. The style is typical of the last phase of Khmer art (800s–1400s), the Lapburi style, which combines characteristics of both Cambodian and Thai sculptural styles.
