It features beautiful colors, including dark gray, white, and reddish-brown.

The beautifully carved figure represents the Buddha and includes typical features such as long earlobes, which were stretched during the years when the Buddha-to-be, as a prince, wore heavy earrings. The knot on the top of the head is sometimes said to indicate extraordinary wisdom, while the flowing monk robes and seated position with the legs crossed on a lotus throne, represent meditation. The right hand over the right knee symbolizes the Buddha's calling the Earth as a witness during his victory over negative forces, while the left hand is held down with fingers extended, and the palm turned upwards, symbolizing gift-giving.

Very nice condition with overall measurements of 6.25"h x 4.5"w x 3"d. Perfect for a desktop, bookcase, display area, etc. See less
