Buddha Statue - Medium

Handcrafted in Nepal by a Tibetan artisan from high-grade heavy resin, these statues of the Buddha, in his various forms, are beautifully detailed and hand finished with a rich lustre.

These are excellent castings. Each Buddha features richly decorated robes that are bordered and covered in images of auspicious symbols such as the dorje and Naga, the protective serpent associated with good luck, while the back of the lotus throne carries the mantra "Om Mani Padmi Hum", associated with compassion, protection and salvation. Free hands cradle the begging bowl.

Each buddha statue is 14 cm (5.5 inches) in height

The Buddhas are:

• Bhaiṣajyaguru (Holding the medicine bowl, a branch from the healing myrobalan plant and displaying Varada or Gift Bestowing Mudra)
• Akshobhya (Hand down, facing inwards - Bhumisparsa or Witness Mudra)
• Vairochana (Both hands up close to the chest - Dharmachakra or Teaching Mudra)
• Amoghshiddhi (Hand raised, facing outwards - Abhaya or Protection Mudra)
• Amitabha (Both hands in the lap - Dhyana or Meditation Mudra)
