This impressive Celestial Buddha
has his right arm extended all the way down with palm facing outwards in the
Varada mudra, which confers boon or grace. He represents the Dhyani Buddha
Amitabha of the West with his left hand holding a lotus scepter. He stands in a
Samapada asana common to Boddisatwas upon a double lotus Viswapadmasana
throne set upon an octagonal dias. Cast in brass with a bronze patina, the Buddha's
golden robes drape in graceful symmetry about his well-formed body. His coiffure is
decorated with a plaque bearing a miniature Buddha seated in meditation while an
elaborate flame-shaped halo emanates from his divine head, appropriate to the Buddha who
is the embodiment of Light. (24" high)
