Description
Lord Buddha is depicted in abhaya mudra also know as the gesture of protection. This is one of the most popular hand gestures of the Buddha which is said to transmit the energy of protection, peace and a sense of strong, deep inner security. The ushnisha, protuberance above his head also referred to as a topknot, symbolizes His wisdom and openness as an enlightened being. The ushnisha is also said to symbolize the loose connection between the mind and body of a Buddha.
This wood sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the very talented artists of the beautiful Kingdom Cambodia.
