golden Buddha

Aureate Buddhist icon

A golden Buddha is a statue of the Buddha made of or covered in gold, found in Buddhist temples throughout Asia.

The most famous is Thailand's Golden Buddha, a solid gold statue weighing over five tons.

Figuratively, a golden Buddha can represent hidden value—the Thai statue was discovered beneath centuries of plaster, revealing treasure concealed in plain sight.
