This is a very rare old Sakyamuni Buddha in 'Earth touching gesture' - means the Buddha approached enlightenment, Mara came to distract him from his cultivation. The Buddha reached down over the right knee with his right hand touching the ground, symbolic of his calling upon the Earth to bear witness and defeating Mara. In other word, Buddism belief, Buddha will be able to support/guide them towards brighter road and preventing/avoid bad luck/misfortune.
Another interesting feature is the Bodhi leaf beside Buddha and at the back of the tablet is Buddha foot print surrounded by dragon. Buddha foot print meaning to say, we Buddism should always follow HIS footstep so that we will always remember Buddha teaching ie Dharma so that we can achieved enlightenment in our life meaning to say, avoid suffering and attend happiness.
