Temple of the Emerald Buddha

Front shot. The story behind the Jade Buddha is a bit interesting. At some point, it had been enclosed in a layer of cement (or something like that) in order to protect it from thievery/plunder. Then it was forgotten that it had been done for many years, and only relatively recently did they figure it out and remove the outer covering.
