Standing Buddha in the Abhaya Mudra - 65cm

Measures (Height) 65cm/25.5", (Width) 16cm/6.3" This beautiful statue of the Buddha is depicted in a standing posture, with a serene and commanding presence. The hand gesture, known as the Abhaya Mudra, or the gesture of fearlessness, holds deep significance in Buddhist tradition.
 

The Buddha is shown with his right arm raised to shoulder height, the palm facing forward and the fingers extended upward. This is the Abhaya Mudra, a symbol of protection, peace, and the dispelling of fear. His left hand rests by his side, completing the dignified and balanced stance. This gesture is famously associated with the Buddha's act of calming a rampaging elephant, showcasing his immense spiritual power and compassionate nature.
 

The Buddha's face has a peaceful countenance, with downcast, introspective eyes and a gentle expression that conveys tranquility. His hair is composed of tight, shell-like curls surmounted by a high ushnisha, the cranial protuberance that symbolizes his supreme spiritual knowledge. His earlobes are elongated, a reminder of his past as a prince who wore heavy earrings before renouncing his worldly life.
 

The statue's robe drapes gracefully over the body, clinging to the form and highlighting the slender profile. The folds of the garment are rendered with a sense of fluid movement, adding to the overall elegance of the piece.
 

This statue embodies the virtues of reassurance and inner peace, making it an ideal piece to bring a sense of serenity and timeless style to any space.
