Buddha seated in the position of Bhumisparsa mùdra, or gesture of the earth taken as witness in the fight between Buddha and Mara
Shan States, north-eastern Burma, 18th century.
Heavily restored because it was undoubtedly in poor condition, the gaps were filled with an amalgam of dry lacquer, the crown was redone, but not the terminal flame.
Numerous traces and presence of the original lacquer on the torso, arms and especially at the back.
Nice general appearance
