Welcome
The central of five Chinese-style figures that inhabit glass cases in the ornate Entrance Building of the Wat Pho Maen complex.

This Buddha icon is about 3 metres high, standing, caste in bronze and plated in gold, and seems to me to be in the Chinese style...round benign face, small forehead, slotted eyes. The icon is dressed for the cooler, wet season...a kind of Thai ritual.

The "third eye" embellishment is a common feature of Buddha icons in this temple complex, but not so common in other temples I have visited.
