Medicine Buddha miniature statue (4.2 cm)

Delicate miniature statue with a warm shimmering brass surface, whose dark patina complements the lotus pedestal, the folds of the robe, and the densely engraved pattern on the back stand out in relief. The Medicine Buddha (Tib. Sangye Menla) extends his right hand in the gesture of giving above his knee, holding a sprig of myrobalan, while his left hand lap—in the Tibetan tradition, he is associated with associated with healing knowledge. The very small size makes the statue an a companion on journeys and a unobtrusive addition to a home altar. Since each piece is crafted and patinated by hand, the color and fine details may vary slightly from the piece shown.
