The Buddha is depicted in Abhaya mudra: the raised right hand as a sign of protection, reassurance, and the removal of fear.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nThe meaning of this image is particularly strong. Abhaya mudra stands for inner peace, trust, protection, and spiritual safety. It is a posture that literally says: do not be afraid. As a result, this image is particularly suitable for an entrance, meditation room, practice room, altar, or a powerful spiritual interior.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nThe reverse side shows the traditional Tibetan Kasaya monk's robe, hand-engraved in a geometric rice field pattern. This pattern refers to the Buddhist monk's robe, composed of symbolic planes like old patches of cloth that together form one sacred garment. Within the Buddhist tradition, this also stands for the field of merit: spiritual nourishment, discipline, and wisdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nA remarkable feature of this statue is the visible monastic work: the original lines of the robe have been worn away in several places through prolonged ritual use, touching, and cleaning. Subsequently, certain lines were re-incised by hand to keep the sacred form and the robe visible. This type of ritual re-incision is fitting for a statue that was used for a long time in a monastic context and kept alive within devotional practice.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\nThe thick old gilding, dark underlayers, copper-colored wear zones, internal oxidation, and mineral deposits on the inside support the character of an old, traditionally cast statue. The surface of the object shows no modern decorative finish, but rather a layered age with clear traces of use, veneration, and time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top:1px solid #b08d57; border-bottom:1px solid #b08d57; padding:18px 0; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eRepresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shakyamuni Buddha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eMudra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abhaya mudra, the posture of protection and reassurance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eMeaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protection, peace, trust, spiritual safety and the removal of fear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gilded bronze \/ copper alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eOrigin \/ style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tibet \/ Himalayan monastic tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eDating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18th–19th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eSpecial detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-engraved Kasaya robe with rice field pattern and later ritual re-incision by monks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 71 × W 55 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#b08d57;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old gilding with ritual wear, re-scratched robe lines, internal oxidation, and mineral deposits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px; margin:0;\"\u003e\n\nA monumental and meaningful Tibetan Buddha statue with a strong monastic appearance, old gilding, and visible monastic work.
