Antique Laos Style Standing Bronze Buddha in Varada or Charity Mudra - 41cm/16"Measures – (Height) 41cm/16” An antique Laos style Standing Buddha statue. The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. He has a large lotus flower shaped ushnisha protuberance on top of his head, symbolizing his high level of spiritual development. 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 and hands. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina of the piece is also particularly delightful. The Buddha has both lowered hands in the varada mudra. This mudra offers charity, compassion and the granting of wishes. It signifies the five perfections: Generosity, Morality, Patience, Effort and Meditative Concentration, through the five extended fingers. The sculpture provides the perfect traditional in appearance Buddha to bring serenity and timeless style to your home, office or sacred space. We have other beautiful Asian Art available.
