Buddha Shakyamuni

From: $78.00

Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in this thangka together with the two main disciples as it appears in the most classical representations.

Buddha is seated in vajra posture (also known as lotus position) on a white moon disc and lotus seat above a throne supported by two snow lions.
His left hand is in the lap holding a begging bowl while the right arm is extended across the leg with the fingers touching the earth.
His skin is golden in color, the eyes partially closed and the hair piled with a gold ornament adorning the top of the head.
A dot (bindi or “urna”) between the eyebrows and the earlobes are elongated and pierced.
The shoulders are covered with an orange and red robe wrapped around the torso and legs, and tied at the waist with a green sash.

Standing at the sides the two Bodhisattva: Shariputra on the left and Maudgalyayana on the right, both holding a begging bowl and a “khakkhara” staff.
At the bottom front a large blue bowl filled with precious objects and a large Dharma wheel.

The background is composed by a beautiful landscape with clouds, mountains, rivers and decorated with colorful flowers and other natural elements.
