Tibetan Buddha, XIX century. Bronze, with set crystals. It shows signs of use and wear. Measurements: 19 x 12 x 9 cm. Representation of a seated Buddha performing a mudra of touching the earth with his right hand. He is seated on a synthesized lotus flower. The elongated lobes of his ears symbolize wisdom. Gautama Sakyamuni Buddha was the Buddha of compassion who, having reached the highest evolutionary perfection, turned suffering into happiness for all living beings. Born around 560 B.C., his father was a raja who ruled the northeastern province of India. At the age of 29, the young prince gave up his life of luxury, as he felt compelled to purify his body and turn it into an instrument of the mind by ridding it of earthly temptations. Here crowns his head a headdress with the representation of Buddha representing infinite wisdom. The elegance and spirituality of Buddha's form is well conceived in this Tibetan representation.

Buddha. China. Qing Dynasty, 19th century. Bronze sculpture. Presents marks of use and faults. Measurements: 19,5 cm x 11 cm x 9,5 cm. Buddha seated in the posture of the lotus flower and performing a mudra that symbolizes that he takes the earth as a witness. The symmetry of his physiognomic features expresses serenity, the elongated earlobes symbolize nobility and wisdom. The headdress is inspired by a Buddhist temple. The bhumi sparsha mudra ('gesture of touching the Earth', being bhumi: 'the planet Earth'; and sparsha: 'to touch') represents the moment when Buddha solved the problem of ending suffering when he was under the Bodhi tree. Usually depicted by the historical Buddha and seated in the lotus position, as in this bronze. The right hand touches the ground with the fingertips; the left hand rests on the leg with the palm facing up.
