Verdigris Copper Earth Touching Buddha Statue

A beautiful verdigris green statue of the Buddha with earth touching mudra & deep carving on the robes. The Buddha is sitting on a lotus throne cross legged with the right hand in the Bhumisparsha, earth touching, mudra. At the moment of the Buddha's Enlightenment he was assailed by Mara casting doubts on the reality of his experience. In response the Buddha touched the earth and the banished Mara. This is a beautiful Buddha rupa with deeply detailed and richly patterned robes. Dimensions: H23 W19 D13cm
