Gilt Brass Sitting Buddha - Bhumisparsha Mudra Origin - Congo harmony and marital blissThis large bronze Buddha has a serene gaze with painted eyes and lips. Buddha is seated in bhumisparsha mudra, with his right hand "touching the earth" and symbolises Buddha's enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree.
