Hand-carved Shakyamuni Buddha Statue, Buddhist Sculpture
This Statue is traditionally carved Shakyamuni Buddha statue. Statue with a calm and peaceful face, plated with pure 24k gold and seated in vajra posture on a lotus seat. Statue is adorned with beautifully carved precious gemstones.
Shakyamuni’s right hand reaches down to touch the earth. This gesture represents the moment when he called the earth to witness his transcendence of the realm of Mara, the supreme God of the world (samsara), who had tried to distract him from his meditation. In response, the earth trembled and shook to acknowledge Shakyamuni’s attainment of Buddhahood. Shakyamuni’s left hand rests in his lap in the gesture of meditation, and holds his alms bowl.
A perfect Buddha Statue for your meditation shrine.
