Buddha, Throng Krueang Samadhi
The figure comes from a complete altar of a spiritual healer, Mrs. Mo Toi Phun-Khasem in Banphet village, Bumnetnarong district, Chaiyaphum province in northeast Thailand. She called the altar the "Tamnag" (palace of the spirits). The Buddha, made of translucent polyester and decorated with hammered metal, red acrylic paint and red glass stone inlays, sits on a high throne with his hands interlaced. It is an imitation of the Prakaew Morakod, "Buddha of Emerald Crystal", from Wat Phra Kaeow in Bangkok.
