Antique Style Chinese Amithaba Yongle Enlightenment Buddha Statue - 19cm/8"

Measures – (Height) 19cm/8"

This Chinese, fire-gilt bronze figure is based on those made during the Yongle period (1402-1424) and represents Buddha. He is seated in padmasana, the lotus position, with both soles of his feet turned upwards. His right hand, lying on his knee, forms the bhumisparsa mudrā, the gesture of touching the earth. His palm is turned inward and his fingers point towards the earth. With this gesture, he calls upon the earth to bear witness to the truth of his words. His left hand is hereby placed upon his foot with the open palm facing upwards.

The noble, very finely engraved robe covers his shoulders in flowing shapes and a dhoti is placed around the hips. The body of the figure is decorated with precious, lush jewelry and his face has a serene expression with a distinct smile. His head is graced with a five-leaved crown that symbolizes his superiority over the five elements. The extremely fine hair behind the crown forms a distinct, high topknot and the third eye, the urna, is found in the middle of the forehead. The base of the figure is sealed and bears a double vajra symbol.

This traditional in appearance piece is sure to bring serenity to your home, office or sacred space.

One of the most recognizable of the Asian deities this representation of the spiritual teacher Buddha is sure to enlighten your home with endlessly timeless style.
