About the Item

A large cast bronze sculpture of a Buddha's left hand, circa 1960. Mounted on a trapezoid-shaped wood and metal stand. The gesture is known as Dharmachakra Mudra, the traditional Buddhist gesture of teaching and discussion. This artistic representation reflects not only the complex and omnipresent Buddhist spirituality throughout Asia, but also the exquisite craftsmanship of its artisans and their superb metalwork skills, learned and carried on for generations since the 13th Century. The bronze presents a very desirable patina with verdigris and light brown tones. Very good condition for its age and use.
