This gilded copper statue of the Buddha from Nepal, draped in a magnificent robe is a potent tool for Tathagata's disciples to imagine and realize his enlightenment. Buddha is seated on a lotus seat that has blossomed, signifying an enlightened mind. He is holding a monk's bowl in the Dhyana mudra and extends his hand in the earth-touching gesture or Bhumisparsha mudra. With the use of gilding to highlight the elements of the icon and the divine countenance of Buddha, while leaving the earthy tone of copper bare in other areas, the statue of Buddha has flawlessly realistic facial features that give the artwork an unfathomable aura.
