Emerald Buddha
Thailand
The Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaeo Morakot, or Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Rattana Patimakon, lit. 'Statue of the Great Emerald Buddha') is an image of the meditating Gautama Buddha seated in a meditative posture, made of a semi-precious green stone (jasper or jade rather than emerald), clothed in gold, and about 66 centimetres (26 in) tall. The image is considered the sacred palladium of Thailand. It is housed in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) on the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
