EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century bronze figurine depicts Buddha in the posture of Abhayamudra, or the gesture of reassurance. The Kandyan period (1480-1815) sculpture originates from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, and showcases the rich artistic heritage of Buddhism in the region. The full-length statue stands with a serene expression on his face, his right hand raised in a protective gesture, while his left hand rests on his lap, palm facing upwards. The gilt bronze sculpture, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, exudes an aura of tranquility and peace. The statue's gilt finish adds a golden sheen, making it a striking addition to any art collection or gallery. The Abhayamudra mudra is a symbol of fearlessness and protection, and this sculpture serves as a reminder of the calming presence of Buddha. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Ceylonese artisans of the 18th century and a valuable addition to the Arts of Asia collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
