In traditional belief, gold was not regarded merely as a precious metal for trade or the accumulation of wealth. It was considered the most suitable material for conveying faith, beauty, and sacredness. For this reason, gold was chosen for the creation of jewelry, sacred objects, and Buddha imagesespecially in repoussé work, which reflects not only technical skill but also patience and the spiritual dedication of goldsmiths in each era.

Repoussé is an ancient technique that requires a high level of mastery. The artisan carefully hammers the gold sheet from the reverse side to raise the design on the front, then meticulously refines every detail. Each movement is a process that cannot be corrected and cannot be rushed.

Motifs commonly found in this type of work include floral patterns, vines, and religious imagery, symbolizing abundance, serenity, and auspiciousness according to traditional Thai beliefs.

This gold plaque is repoussé with an image of the Buddha in the posture of Bestowing Blessings, distinguished by the raised palm extended forward. This gesture symbolizes compassion, peace, protection, and benevolence granted to the faithful.

The posture of Bestowing Blessings is widely revered for enhancing inner calm, success, and auspiciousness. It appears in both seated and standing forms and has been evidenced in Thai art since the Dvaravati period onward. Repoussé Buddha images crafted in gold are therefore not merely objects of veneration; they are enduring traces of faith and craftsmanship from eras that placed profound value on time and intention.
