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.
