The hand posture of a Buddha is also called mudra. The gesture depicted here is the gesture of touching the earth. The Buddha's right arm hangs above the knee and the palms of his hands point inwards. All fingers point down. The left hand lies on the lap with the palm of the hand open upwards. The seated Buddha touches the earth with his fingertips to call upon it as a witness to the truth of his words.
Our sculptures are not perfect!
They are created by hand from natural material. Handcrafting offers no second attempt; each blow with hammer and chisel, once executed, is irrevocable.
Rock inclusions and/or small chips are testimony to the naturalness of the material and the dedicated craftwork of the artists and are therefore not to be considered a flaw.
Please keep this in mind if you decide to buy a hand-cut sculpture from Indonesia.
