Hand Of Buddha - Bronze Antique Reproductions - "Vitarka Mudra"

These graceful bronze museum quality antique reproductions of the hand of the Buddha Amitabha are rendered in the Sukhothai art style of 13th century Thailand in the "Vitarka mudra." The Vitarka mudra is a symbol for intellectual discussion or debate. The space formed by thumb and index finger symbolizes the Wheel of Dharma (Teaching).

This gesture, with the fingers upward, identifies the Buddha as a teacher. It emphasizes the message he imparts. In his teaching travels, the Buddha valued intelligent argument for its ability to convey seemingly inexpressible concepts. With the hand pointing to the ground, the gesture symbolizes the integration of wisdom and intellectual technique. Cast and hand-finished in Thailand, the rich antique patina of these works of solid bronze art evokes a sense of equanimity and the timelessness of the ancient teaching. Offered in two sizes and either mounted or unmounted. SCROLL DOWN FOR SIZE, POSE, STYLE AND ORDERING.
