Description
Southeast Asia, Laos, 19th century CE. A small wooden Buddha seated on a tall, half-cylinder pedestal. The pedestal is gilded, with Lao writing incised into it. This Buddha, also gilded, is depicted in the Bhumisparsha mudra, with his right hand over the right knee reaching towards the ground and the palm inward and touching the lotus throne. His left hand lies in his lap with the palm upright. This mudra represents the moment of his awakening, as he defeated the demon Mara, and claimed the earth as his witness to his enlightenment. Size: 1.6" L x 3.2" W x 6.5" H (4.1 cm x 8.1 cm x 16.5 cm)
