Ca. 18th century Pala style Indian Meditating Buddha. The Buddha is seated, in virasana, cross-legged symbol of Serenity, with both hands in the Dhyana or Meditation mudrÄ. This hand gesture promotes the energy of meditation, deep contemplation and unity with higher energy.The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow, reinforcing the impression of serenity and spirituality. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. The casting is beautiful as you can see in the fine details of the face. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina of the piece is also particularly delightful. Please contact us for high resolution images of the piece.
