Nepalese Seated Figure of Buddha with Dhyana Asana & Mudra

Eyes down, hands folded, a very still gold and brown Buddha.

Nepali metalworkers made this seated figure of Buddha in dhyana asana, with the meditation mudra, in bronze in the 20th century. In Buddhist art, dhyana mudra, with both hands resting in the lap, symbolizes meditation and concentration. The Buddha sits cross-legged on a double lotus base, holding a small bowl in his upturned palms. His robe is draped over one shoulder and decorated with etched borders. The gilded face is serene, with a tall ushnisha and long earlobes. The bronze is a rich two-tone gold and chocolate brown.

About 8 inches tall. He is not going anywhere, and will not mind if you do.
