Standing at 39 cm in height and crafted from wood, this statue showcases exquisite artistry with its gilding in 24-karat gold and intricately inlaid eyes. The Mandalay style is characterized by its detailed craftsmanship and regal presentation, reflecting the spiritual significance of the figure it represents.
