About this piece
The healing Buddha, one hand open, one holding a medicinal plant.
Nepalese artisans cast this seated figure of Medicine Buddha in bronze in the 20th century. Medicine Buddha is commonly associated with healing in Tibetan Buddhist practice and is often shown holding a medicinal fruit or herb. He sits in a cross-legged posture, one hand resting in his lap with a small bloom, the other lowered in a gesture of giving. The bronze is partly gilded on the face and chest, with a darker robe patterned in fine detail. A beaded rim runs around an oval lotus base.
About nine inches tall. Gentle on a desk, firm on a bad day.
