Description from the seller

Classic seated Buddha from Burma. The various gestures of the arms and hands are called mudras. They symbolize different spiritual concepts. For example, the raised hand symbolizes the Buddha immediately after attaining enlightenment. The hand pointing to the ground invokes the earth as a witness to his truth.
Hand-carved from solid wood, the body is gilded with gold leaf. It is adorned with numerous multicolored mirrors, some of which are subtly painted.
