Unique Stone Buddha ~ Sakyamuni

The pictured handcarved Buddha was crafted from a colorful type of Himalayan stone by skilled artisans in India. The colors and patterns in the stone, and the individual carving itself makes this stone Buddha statue unique. The skill of carving, the weight of the statue, and the beauty of the natural stone are all more impressive than the photos can show. The Buddha's gesture is called the Bhumisparsa mudra, showing Buddha with his right hand in the earth-touching gesture commemorating Gautama Buddha's moment of enlightenment under the Bo tree in Bohdgaya, India.
