The pictures do not do this piece justice.
The Buddha serenely stands upon his blooming lotus flower base. Each petal
of the lotus flower is carved individually to look like the crest of a wave,
there are also designs on the bottom most potion of the base. No details
were overlooked. The Buddha's gossamer robes gracefully flow over his
body.
The Buddha's right
hand is upright in the vitarka mudra. The vitarka mudra is a gesture of
discussion and debate. It indicates communication and the explanation of
the Dharma. The Buddha's left hand is granting boons to devotees.
The sculpture is
carved in two pieces; the Buddha and it's base. Both carvings came from
the same tree so there is no difference in colour. The base has a peg
which fits into the Buddha's feet and keeps the Buddha attached. The fine
veins in the wood are apparent throughout the Buddha and its base.
This wood sculpture is a one
of a kind statue, it was carved by a 79 years old artisan in Bali, Indonesia.
It took the artisan 1 1/2 years to make this piece.
