BUDDHA MEDITATING H77cm Ref.B30

This BUDDHA is crafted from white sandstone and depicts him seated in a meditative position on a stylized lotus flower, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening in Eastern traditions. The soft lines of his robes and composed posture convey a sense of serenity and contemplation.

The statue's hands are positioned in a symbolic gesture, known as a mudra, typical of Buddhist and Hindu iconography. Specifically:

• Right hand: Form the gesture called Vitarka Mudra, in which the thumb and index finger touch to form a circle, while the other fingers are extended upward. This mudra represents the transmission of teachings, discussion, and explanation of doctrine.

• Left hand: placed on the lap, often associated with gestures of meditation or welcoming.
