Traditional Himalayan Medicine Buddha Healing Practice Statue
We are Nepali artisans who used methods handed down to us through decades to hand-carve this exquisite Medicine Buddha Healing Practice Statue. The statue's expertly carved using an oxidized copper body with unique design patterns. The deity is seen sitting on a moon disc lotus seat with a serene facial expression. He is holding an alms dish in his left hand and a myrobalan plant barely above the ground in his right hand. The robe is filled with intricate design patterns that we hand-craved using a hammer and chisels.
This will be a perfect gift from Nepal for a practitioner like you for healing practice.
