Bangkok 04 06 Wat Phra Kaeo Temple of the Emerald Photo of Emerald Buddha  [27 of 27]


The Emerald Buddha is a rather small 0.6m (2 ft.), dark statue, carved from a block of green jade. It is enshrined on a golden traditional Thai-style throne made of gilded-carved wood. It was first discovered in 1434, and was covered with plaster. The abbot who found it noticed the nose had flaked off, and then discovered the jade underneath.
