Description from the seller
Bronze Shakyamuni Buddha
Tibetan-style bronze statue with an aged, antique patina. The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha Mudra (earth-touching mudra), representing Shakyamuni's enlightenment.
- Height: Approx. 18cm
- Weight: 696 grams
- Material: Bronze, with a red velvet anti-slip pad on the bottom of the base.
Hand Gestures and Objects
The right hand hangs down, fingertips touching the ground, in the Bhumisparsha Mudra (earth-touching mudra), symbolizing the subjugation of demons; the left hand is placed in front of the abdomen, palm holding a begging bowl, a standard image of Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment. The Buddha sits in the standard lotus posture.
Statue Decoration
The Buddha has a topknot, a gentle face, a white urna (urna tuft) between the eyebrows, and long, drooping ears.
The robe has flowing folds, and the back is fully decorated with auspicious cloud and dragon motifs in relief. The dragon motifs are delicately carved, a highlight of this statue; the edges of the robe and skirt are carved with scrolling cloud patterns. The double-layered lotus pedestal has full, regular petals, and the edge of the lotus base is decorated with beaded patterns.
This is a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha at the moment of enlightenment. The earth-touching mudra (gesture) symbolizes taking the earth as witness, dispelling all demonic disturbances, and represents enlightenment and peace.
It is approximately 19.5 cm tall and weighs approximately 696 grams.
