AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
DESCRIPTION
Beautiful bronze statue representing Shakyamuni Buddha seated in vajrasana, the right hand in bhumisparsha mudra, calling the earth to witness, the right resting on the heel, wearing the samghati, the serene and gentle expression, almond-shaped half-closed eyes, elongated earlobes, in meditation.
The “ball” he holds in his left hand is the stylised representation of the Vitarka Mudra and symbolises the transmission of teaching.
Attention, resin has been poured inside, probably to make the statue more stable; the core is therefore not visible, but there is no doubt about the age of the piece.

THE SELLER
I have been travelling Asia for 30 years and, more particularly, Burma (Myanmar), where I have built numerous contacts with traders, which has allowed me to buy ancient objects, and I still buy on the European market depending on opportunities. Jean Dumoulin.
Will be packed with the utmost care, insured and trackable shipment.
