This should be expected, but the item you are buying is always the actual one shown in the photograph.
This reclining Buddha shows the Buddha resting on his right hand meaning that this statue is related to the legend of the giant who did not want to bow before the Buddha, but when the Buddha lay down he was larger than the giant, humbling him as he showed the giant the glory of all the heavenly figures that were larger than the giant.
Statues of the reclining Buddha are often very large in Thailand as they relate to this story.
This reclining Buddha should not be confused with other reclining images where the Buddha's right hand is by his side, depicting his last moments on earth before entering Nirvana.
