"You immediately can see that this piece is a hand made piece by the deep carvings that comprise the robes of the Buddha. It is not possible for mass produced pieces to have the deep and distinct carvings that this beautiful copper Buddha is decorated with."
Brenda, Dharma Sculpture

On the front of the Buddha's base is a devotee kneeling in adoration towards his Lord Buddha. On backside of the Buddha robe you find two of the eight auspicious symbols; an ornate treasure vase or kalasha, the 'vase of inexhaustible treasures', and a sankha or conch shell, which symbolizes the Buddha's fearlessness in proclaiming the truth of the dharma and His call to awaken and work for the benefit of others. On the back of the base are two attendants.

The base of the Buddha is sealed with a double vajra or dorje symbolizing the impenetrable, imperishable, immovable, immutable, indivisible and indestructible state of absolute reality which is the enlightenment of Buddhahood.

Lord Buddha is in dhyana mudra, the gesture of meditation or concentration. In this gesture, the right hand always rests over the left hand. This symbolizes that the perfections of method (right hand) are supported by the perfection of wisdom (left hand). The ends of the thumbs touch representing two of the main psychic channels of white and red bodhichitta (wish to achieve complete enlightenment in order to be of benefit to all sentient beings), which terminate in the thumbs and carry the united energies of method and wisdom respectively. He is in dhyana asana (sitting position) also called padmasana.
