Maha Myat Muni Pagoda in Mandalay.
The original image was made out of alloy but fine foils of gold were glided on and it now weights over a ton. The golden crown of the image is decorated with diamonds, jades, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. It is the most ancient Buddha image in Myanmar. It was cast in the life-span of Lord Buddha in the seated posture of relaxed deportment, namely Bumi Phasa Mudras, symbolic of His Conquest of Mara.
