In this spectacular brass figure of the Apostle of Truth and Non-Violence, Lord Buddha, is depicted with a deep sense of finesse and elegance. His face is smoothly carved out and the Lord is wearing a green drapery. The application of reconstituted turquoise and coral makes the figure even more amazing. His hair, hands and the entire body are given a tender and elegant touch. Any figure of Lord Buddha made by a skilled sculptor depicts a number of characteristics that communicate inner meanings and intentions to the viewer. The most important of these characteristics are the mudras, or hand gestures, of the Lord Buddha. Here the Abhaya Mudra reflects a gesture of reassurance, blessing, and protection. "Do not fear."
