| New Buddhas are being made at this temple's grounds. I was told they are shipped all over Laos. The form is bolted together from many metal pieces, then concrete is poured inside. When it dries the mold is taken off, and details are added. They smooth any rough edges, add a headpiece above the face. Many Buddhas were sitting in the sun, drying, the first time I visited. Some were painted, some plain. Visitors are most welcome in the temples in Laos. Buddha sits on a round ring that is cast seperate. |

Very interesting shot, I didn't know how they are made. I also like the light on his face. Sharpening this might help. TFS!

very interesting shot. It's good to know where so many Buddhas come from :)
Is that a piece of bread (offering) on the molding? Thanks..
