From a fifty year old UK private collection comes this finest collector work of art- a 200 year old Royal Bronze “Enlightenment” Buddha, 18th Century
Seated peacefully in his kingly attire, this royal Buddha lips’ are pursed together and his eyes are downcast in deep meditation. His royal garments include a crown with triangular shaped designs on each side and with a beautiful finial emerging from the top of the head. The Buddha wears special designer jewelry on his chest, shoulders, arms, wrists and ankles. The most striking is his elaborate and superb chest plate.
This beautiful Buddha sculpture will bring serenity and timeless style to your home, office, sacred, or garden space.
The Buddha is seated on a pedestal in the Bhumisparsa or ” ‘Calling the Earth to Witness’ mudrā. With fingers slightly touching the ground this position represents the subduing of Mara (a demon) who bombarded Buddha with demons, monsters, violent storms and the three seductive daughters. Remaining steadfast the Buddha testified to his meritorious past by pointing to the earth and calling the Earth Goddess, Thorani. Rising from the ground the Earth Goddess wrings the water from her long black hair. By this action she raises a torrential flood that drowns Mara and his army of demons. This gesture reflects this story symbolizing enlightenment, as well as steadfastness and Buddha’s achievement of perfection or nirvana.
The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. He has a large lotus bud shaped ushnisha protuberance on top of his head that symbolizes a high level of spiritual development. His earlobes are stretched long from youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings.
