2nd-3rd Century Gandharan Grey Schist Hand of Buddha

Details: A beautiful example of a Gandharan Buddha hand mounted on a perspex base. The finely carved fingers tapering elegantly, with the webbing delicately between them.

The Buddha's webbed fingers are one of the thirty-two major signs (lakshanas) of his superhuman nature. (As legend has it, Buddha’s webbed fingers are representative of a net to gather in his followers.)

Age: 2-3rd Century.

Height: 10.5 cm including base.
