The transparent, glass-like nature of crystal adds to the ethereal quality surrounding the Buddha. The traditional, seated monk figurine. Right hand raised in the vitarka mudra (the stance of transmuting vidya). A discernible sombreness on the translucent face.
The robes draped across the torso of Buddha, the pleats of the lower section of the same garment (the Buddha dressed in lengthy, unstitched fabrics), and the distinct lotus petals that curve up as backrest - these must have taken a great deal of time and skill to carve out of crystal.
This crystal Buddha figurine would look great poised against a solid-coloured wall. It could occupy its own tiny shelf on a wall studded with tasteful decor items or belong to a composite that includes other pieces of divine art.
