Description
The Earth Calling Buddha is in the center, with one hand up and the other resting on his knee. Seated in the full lotus position. He's surrounded by a halo of cobalt with gold rays. He's over a palace of which we can see the interior. The central Buddha figure is surrounded by a border of lotus flowers. Elephants are cavorting in the grass, idyllic scenes of figures in gardens, and the top features a wide cloud with a palace scene inside. Characters painted in red on the back.
Provenance: Acquired from a warehouse in Philadelphia that sat abandoned for over 20 years. The previous owner is believed to be an artist and photographer based out of New York.
