This Buddha panel was recently carved from an antique piece of wood.  The Buddha is seated on a large decorated platform.  He is seated in the dhyana mudra.  Dhyana mudra is the hand gesture of meditation, concentration of the Good Law and of the attainment of spiritual perfection.  It indicates the perfect balance of thought, rest of the senses and tranquility.  The Buddha has a spire rising from the top of his head which symbolizes the Buddha's radiant spiritual energy.  Behind the Buddha's head is a beautiful godly halo.  This panel is perfect for leaning against or hanging on a wall.
