Large Bronze Medicine Buddha on Tall Stepped Throne
The beauty of this large bronze Burmese Buddha of healing is in its simplicity. The plain draped robe and the straight spare lines of the high stepped throne focus attention first on the peaceful face and next on the graceful hands. The triangular face is classic Ava, with broad sweeping brow, downcast eyes and small mouth in a slight smile. Fingers of the right hand, in earth touching mudra, rest with the tips bent gently outward; balanced in the left hand palm is the symbol of healing, a kalasa, represented here as a simple curved object rather than the more ornate kalasa pot generally seen on medicine Buddha figures. This exceptionally serene and settled bhaisapysguru Buddha is from the late 19th/early 20th century and is in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 21" 53 cm), width 17" (43 cm), depth 10" (26 cm).
