About the Item
A Heavy Cast Gilded Bronze Right Hand of the Buddha Shakyamuni
Showing the gesture of meditation
Old smooth dark patina with remains of gilding
China
15th Century - Early Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644)
SIZE: 25cm long, 13.5cm wide, 10cm deep – 9¾ ins long, 5¼ ins wide, 4 ins deep
The forefinger and little finger of this hand are slightly lifted away from the others and are making the gesture of meditation, which is associated with the moment of the Buddha’s enlightenment. From the position of the fingers it is probable that this is the right hand of a monumental, double life size, image of the Buddha seated in meditation.
