Condition: minor age
crack, o.a. very good There
is a classic intricacy, a detail of style in this Chinese Polychrome Wood Buddha
Statue from the early 20th century. The detail is especially compelling in the
intricacy of the nimbus: florals and flames fuse to reveal the lucid power, resonant,
beauty and presence of the moment a young prince name Siddhartha became awakened.
Part of his deep realization is that within every human being there is boddhicitta
the seed of enlightenment: As one so many. This Shakyamuni, holds a medicine bowl
filled with the nectar of rejuvenation, the knowledge of our immortal essence
that which sustains beyond and within all changes. Thus Buddha’s right hand is
in the mudra of teaching and transmission. It is said that to sit in the presence
of a Buddha that much is revealed just in the silence. This statue embodies this
essence with a classic design and a particular historic gravitas. It is in very
good condition except for a minor crack. (SD)
