Description
This beautiful Cambodian Buddha statue was carved from an antique piece
of wood. Lord Buddha has a wonderful serene expression and a
faint smile. He is depicted in the abhaya mudra also known as the
protection gesture standing on a lotus throne. The ushnisha,
protuberance above his head also referred to as a topknot, symbolizes
His wisdom and openness as an enlightened being. He has elongated
earlobes, a vestige of his life as a prince, when he wore extravagant
jewelry.
