This posture is known as Calling The Earth to Witness, and it is the definition of the moment of enlightenment for the Buddha. The yellow, orange and black hues add to the antique feel of the wood. This pose is closely associated with the story of Buddha Shakyamuni, it is generally seen in Khmer paintings and sculptures of this particular Buddha.
