The inscription may be translated as 'A gilded sacred statue (idol), Zhao Jinyi, 27th year of the Jiajing period (1548), eighth month, 17th day.' While it is unclear who Zhao Jinyi is, it is quite possible that he is a patron, or the individual who commissioned the present figure. As is the case with painted inscriptions, it is also possible that the present figure is earlier in date, and was inscribed on the occasion of its dedication or restoration.
