"A
work of exceptional elegance and radiant spirituality, this statue of Buddha
Shakyamuni is a beautiful piece of Tibetan art!" Seated in dhyanasana with his right hand held gracefully in the earth-touching gesture or bhumisparsha mudra, Lord Buddha is clothed in a diaphanous sanghati (monastic robe) which is decorated by an incised leaf pattern and its excess fabric is gathered in finely pleated folds before him. Consistently superb workmanship is seen in the fine details of the figure including fine facial features, and an intricately modeled, bejeweled crown. Buddha' stature is
powerful, yet his gentle expression is serene. Gazing downward, the Enlightened
One is engaged deeply in meditation, his almond-shaped eyes incised beneath a
pair of gently arched brows. His lips are outlined and form a soft smile.
Behind the headpiece, curls are swept into a neat chignon over a conical
ushnisha. A notable contrast between the simplicity of the robe and
the regal headpiece is symbolic of the Buddha's triumph over the material world. Please email or call us, toll free, with any questions or comments 1(888)DHARMA-4, info@dharmasculpture.com |
