Caption

The photo shows a section of the left earlobe of a gilded Buddha statue, the gilding shows fine signs of wear, matte areas and subtle reflections that accentuate the materiality of the statue. The transition from ear to neck region is visible, with soft, harmonious contours typical of the stylized representation of the Buddha, the image gives the impression of a silent, concentrated detailed study of an iconographic feature of Buddhist sculpture, Wat Suthat Thepwararam, Royal Temple, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, Thailand
