This lovely item is of the Buddha with his hands in two different symbolic hand positions standing on a lotus throne. He has a serene, inward looking facial appearance. It is 2.5 inches wide, 2.5 inches deep, and 4.25 inches high. The Buddha has his right hand is in the abhaya mudrā, which represents protection, peace, benevolence and the dispelling of fear. It imparts fearlessness on the viewer. The left hand has an open palm pointed downward which signifies generosity. This piece would look great in a shrine or on top of a piece of furniture. The statue serves as a reminder of the successful achievement of enlightenment of the Buddha and his loving nature for having shared with others his understanding. This would make a unique gift.
