Miniature Buddha Statue (Silver on Brass)

This miniature silver-coated brass statue represents the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, seated in meditation.

This exquisitely rendered miniature statue depicts the Buddha in "earth-touching mudra," where he calls forth the earth goddess to witness the eons of practice that led to his awakening.

The earth-touching mudra, or gesture, is an indication of supreme confidence, and the dropping away of doubt.

1⅜" (3.6 cm) high.
