**Origin:** Thailand**Description:**
For your consideration is this striking, authentic antique Thai Buddhist votive plaque. The interior plate is cast in relief from a traditional Southeast Asian metal alloy of tin and lead, showcasing the beautifully weathered silhouette of a standing or walking Buddha figure housed beneath a protective temple arch doorway. The plaque is securely set into a heavy, rectangular brass frame featuring a beautiful classic "Gothic / Temple Arch" frame silhouette with a top hanging loop.

Per authentic historic assembly practices for this specific style of large regional temple plaque, this item does not feature glass over the face. **Condition Notes:**
Vintage/Antique condition with significant, honest signs of age. The inner tin plate shows heavy oxidation, loss of fine detail, pitting, and a rich dark patina acquired over many decades of handling and devotional use. The rear steel plate displays heavy rust blooming and pitting. The front brass frame has a wonderful dull, unpolished golden patina with natural tarnish spots. Please study all high-resolution photos carefully as they serve as the primary description of condition and completeness.
