Description
This larger than life sized, 18th century gilded dry lacquer seated Shan Buddha in Calling Earth to Witness Mudra, leans his torso forward almost 20 degrees at the waist so when viewed from a lower elevation, it would appear he was looking more directly at his followers. Over time, the gilding has been rubbed away from his shoulders and legs from constantly being touched by followers, exposing smooth, polished black lacquer to strikingly contrast against his gold face and lower body and resting on a stylized lotus pedestal. 54 inches to the top of his bulb shaped ushnisha .Minor damage to nose.
