Buddha Pang Phratan Tham
The figure, cast from synthetic resin, bronzed and painted, sits on a throne holding a fan in front of its face. The name is derived from his posture and generally means "passing on the Dharma". The fan symbolizes the Buddha's development into a state in which he can pass on the Dharma.
