Large Thai Gilt Rattanakosin Sitting Buddha Statue - 19th Century Necklaces The style is often knownAn excellent & extremely large antique Thai Rattanakosin (1782 1932) sitting Buddha dating to the early 19th century. Buddha sits atop a decorated lotus throne with a serene expression and meditative downcast eyes.
