Fully Gold Plated 7.75″ Tomba Shakyamuni Sculpture, Embedded w/Colorful Stones

Our Tomba Shakyamuni sculpture is depicting the Bhumisparsha “earth touching” mudra. This is a unique mudra that is mostly exclusive to Tomba Shakyamuni Buddha. The Bhumisparsha mudra is depicted with the right hand draped over the right knee with the palm flat and facing inward. Also, the fingers are lightly touching the ground. Bhumisparsha mudra was depicted by Tomba Shakyamuni as he was on the verge of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

Furthermore, his left hand is resting in his lap with the palm facing upwards and there is an alms bowl resting in the palm of his hand. This is known as the Dhyana “meditation” mudra. It is a symbol of meditation and can be depicted with or without the alms bowl. However, the alms bowl symbolically holds the three nectars to eliminate the three poisons – ignorance, greed and hatred.
