The historical Buddha is depicted with a precious stone between the brows and a red gem atop the head, signifying divine vision and enlightenment. The intricate detailing of the Buddha's robes and ornaments is masterfully created using the traditional maki-e technique, where gold powder is mixed with lacquer to produce a sumptuous, gilded effect. The same luxurious finish extends to the lotus base and halo, set against a contrasting black lacquer background, emphasizing the statue’s divine aura. Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, is represented here in the iconic gesture of "Raigo-in," with the right hand facing upward and the left hand downward, both forming a circle with the thumb and index finger. This mudra is symbolic of welcoming and teaching, reflective of Shakyamuni’s role as a spiritual guide. Despite its age, this statue is well-preserved, with the expected wear and stains from years of veneration.
