Larger Handcarved Sitting Buddha

These truly beautiful, handmade works of art depict Buddha. Our Buddhas have been carved in Bali using traditional methods of the island, each carver has taken years perfecting his or her skill to able to create work to this standard. Due to the handmade nature of this item, each Buddha will be unique! When depicting Buddha, the positioning of the hands (Mudra) is very important and different mudra represent different things. Here, Buddha is shown in the Vitarka mudra ('the mudra of discussion') and this represents the discussion and transmission of Buddhist teachings. The position (Asana) for seated Buddhas is often this full lotus position with the feet resting on the thigh of the other leg and the soles facing upwards. This meditative asana is known as Dhyana Asana or Padmasana.
