This delightful standing Buddha statue is gilt with gold leaf and is in the classic Mandalay style
The torso of the Buddha is completely enveloped in an elaborately draped capelike outer robe (uttarasanga) that terminates around the hemlines in cascades of flaring overlapping folds finished with bands of raised lacquer and he is inlaid throughout with spectacular mirror and glass mosaic
The Buddha’s hands are held gracefully to his side down and outward
The "Calling Rain" mudra, also sometimes called "Inviting Rain," depicts the Buddha with his hands hanging down
The gesture is tied to a story where the Buddha used this posture to call for rain to end a drought
This mudra is a symbol of the Buddha's power to bring about change and blessings, including the vital element of water for life
His robes flow over his body naturally like water flowing over rocks in a stream
He stands on a large wonderful large raised lotus base which is covered in mirrored glass mosaic, a notable feature of this piece
He is hand crafted and completely one of a kind, you will receive this exact statue with your order
