The Teacher of Compassion – Large Bronze Statue of the Standing Buddha
This impressive bronze sculpture from Nepal embodies the perfect balance between wisdom and compassion. With its considerable height and massive weight, this is a showpiece for any serious collection or meditation room.
Exclusive Handcraft and Gilding
What distinguishes this specific piece from standard castings is the exceptional finish on the reverse side. Whereas many statues are smooth on the back, this piece displays fine-grained manual chasing. The spiritual symbols were driven directly into the bronze with great precision by a master craftsman. Furthermore, clear traces of original gilding are visible in the recessed parts of these engravings, indicating high-quality craftsmanship for ceremonial or temple purposes.
Double Mudra: Teaching and Blessing
This Buddha is unique due to the combination of two powerful hand gestures. The left hand is raised in the Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of discussion and the transmission of the teachings (Dharma). The right hand reaches down in the Varada Mudra, which represents compassion, generosity, and the bestowal of blessings. Together, they form the essence of the Buddha as a teacher and spiritual protector.
