Sakyamuni Buddha walking, his right leg slightly bent forward, his right hand raised in abhayamudra (Gesture of absence of fear, peace and protection), the left stretched along his body, wearing a samghati diaphanous held by a small belt, his face gives off a serene expression, the symmetry of his arched eyebrows accentuated by an aquiline nose, lips hinting at a slight smile. Attention to detail is also shown in her curly headdress, the usnisha and the (adjoining) flame
This image of the bronze Buddha, in the Sukhotai style, very similar to that which can also be discovered at the Marble Temple (Wat Benchamabophit), dates from the beginning of the 20th century.
