A large bronze sculpture of Shakyamuni Buddha, Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

The Buddha is heavily cast seated in the meditation posture (vajraparyankasana), his left hand in his lap and reaching forward with his right in the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra). The sculpture is distinguished by the crisp quality and depth of the floral patterns cast in relief which decorate the hems of the Buddha’s robe (uttarasanga), outer garment (sanghati) and the skirt (antaravasaka) tied at the waist, the auspicious mark on the chest (svastika). Height 55 cm.

Wear, burst.

Muut tiedot

The historical Shakyamuni Buddha is envisaged in this statue seated in dhyanasana at Bodh Gaya in eastern India, having vowed to remain in meditation to penetrate the mystery of samsara. He was interrupted by the demon hordes of Mara, the 'lord of the senses'. The Buddha overcame their attempts at seduction and distraction, and in defiance moved his right hand from the meditation position to touch the ground before him. The gesture, bhumishparsha mudra, signifies the moment of triumph over Mara in calling the earth spirit to witness his claim to enlightenment.
