- The Buddha is seated in the Ardha Padmasana or half lotus leg position
- His right hand is touching his right knee pointing downward towards the earth
- This earth touching or "earth witness" Buddha is one of the most common iconic images of Buddhism
- This earth touching pose, or bhumisparsha mudra, represents the Buddha asking the mother earth that she witness his enlightenment
- His pose is a symbol of his awakening and also represents the victory of the Buddha over Mara, a demon who represents all defilement of the mind and body
- This statue is hand carved from one block of solid Suar wood and is completely one of a kind
- The talented artisan who carved this used the texture of the wood to incorporate into the carving giving it a wonderful two tone look with the lighter wood around the edges
- The Buddha ships from our California showroom
