Standing Buddha Offering Protection

This Buddha statue embodies the qualities of an inner tranquility and serenity that emanate from supreme wisdom. The figure holds his right hand in the abhaya-mudra, a gesture symbolizing the dispelling of fear and providing reassurance. The Buddha is depicted wearing the simple, unadorned robe of a monk, and his deep religious devotion is further emphasized by a large halo and auspicious markings (lakshanas) that represent both natural and supernatural elements, symbolizing his attainment of Buddhahood, the state of perfect enlightenment. This representation, which emerged during a period of Buddhist expansion, became the standard for Buddha statues across Asia, serving as a culmination of stylistic development.

This artefact is an exquisite conversation starter that will enhance the serene ambiance of your home or office.
