A rectangular terracotta/plaster mould featuring ten seated Buddha figures, each within an individual recessed niche. These moulds were traditionally used across Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma to produce small votive tablets or amulet plaques by pressing damp clay or plaster into the carved impressions.
This example displays typical Southeast Asian stylistic features, with robed figures seated in meditation postures. Surface wear, chipping and remnants of old gilt or paint suggest extended workshop use.
Period:
Mid–late 20th century (c. 1950–1980)
Origin:
Likely Thailand or Cambodia
Material:
Terracotta / plaster composite
