MUST BE PICKED UP. CAN NOT BE SHIPPED
Amazing, 6 foot tall carved Standing Buddha on a Lotus pedestal with an overall height of around 7 feet. This piece is carved from one solid tree trunk with exceptional detail all the way around.
This particular carving is displaying Shunya Mudra raised by the right hand and lowered by the left. The name of this mudra comes from the Sanskrit shunya, meaning “emptiness,” “openness” or “spaciousness,” and mudra, meaning “gesture” or “seal.”
Shunya may also refer to the sky or heaven. As such, shunya mudra may be translated as "heaven mudra." In ancient texts, shunya mudra was cited as providing access to the realm of heaven by harnessing fire energy (represented by the thumb) and ether energy (represented by the middle finger).
