Buddha Sculpture - Antique Thai Style Bronze Bodhi Tree of Happy, Fat, Laughing Buddha Budai Statues - 13cm/5"
Measures (Height) 13cm/5"
Antique Thai style seated bronze Laughing Buddha or Budai.
Each Buddha is seated on the limbs of the Bodhi tree, in the Dhyana mudra or 'Meditation Position'. This hand gesture promotes the energy of meditation, deep contemplation and unity with higher energy.
The Bodhi Tree also called the, Tree of Awakening, Mahabodhi Tree or Bo Tree, is a large sacred fig tree. Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual teacher who became known as the Buddha, is said to have attained enlightenment or Buddhahood, circa 500 BCE under this tree.
Each Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. They each have a large ushnisha protuberance on top of their head symbolizing his high level of spiritual development. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings.
The casting is lovely as you can see in the fine details of each face. Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina of the piece is also particularly delightful. This traditional in appearance piece is sure to add serenity to your home, office or sacred space.
