Antique Chinese giltwood large sitting Mandalay style Buddha with Abhaya Mudra hands. This Buddha is at least 200 years old … more Antique Chinese giltwood large sitting Mandalay style Buddha with Abhaya Mudra hands. This Buddha is at least 200 years old if not much older. She sits on a carved wood lotus relief base. This beautiful statue would be a fabulous statement piece for a Hollywood Regency style room. The Buddha statue has a consecration compartment in the back.

The Buddha represented is the Vairocana variant – that is, the divine universal aspect of Sakiamuni Buddha. He is seated in yogic posture, his legs folded in padnasanam (lotus position), the left hand resting flat on the knee (unusually) and the right hand raised in vitarka mudra (gesture of debate with the forefinger tip touching the thumb). The face has been beautifully carved into a mask of imperturbable serenity and reflection, framed by the long earlobes and the hair, which has been gathered into small, serrated spikes that cover the head like a helmet. The only part exposed is the supracranial eminence traditionally associated with Buddha’s wisdom and sagacity. The drapery is simple, and robustly carved. It comprises a tunic tied at the waist with a long flowing robe that hangs to the waist and is gathered to cover the legs. The chest is bare. The Buddha is otherwise unadorned, which is appropriate given his penchant for simplicity and purity, and at odds with the more decorated Bodhisattva sculptures. The impact of the piece is boosted by its large size (37” tall), which gives it a powerful and magisterial presence. This is a true sculptural gem that deserves pride of place in a serious collection, or in any context where its beauty can be fully appreciated.

The Abhaya mudra (mudra of no-fear) represents protection, peace, benevolence, and dispelling of fear.

Religious statues throughout Asia have hidden cavities that are filled with various objects inserted during a consecration ritual. The statues contain a niche carved into their back (or the base) that is filled with a variety of objects, including relics, religious manuscripts and printed texts, materia medica, desiccated insects, talismans and dharani, and a “consecration certificate” or “vow text.” less
