This print showcases the Monumental Imperial gilt-lacquered wood figure of the Medicine Buddha, dating back to the 18th century. Created by the Chinese School during the Qing dynasty, this magnificent artwork measures an impressive 172.7 x 241.2 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The Medicine Buddha is depicted seated in padmasana, or lotus position, with his right hand extended in varadamudra, symbolizing granting blessings and boons. His left hand rests above his lap with palm upward in dhyanamudra, representing deep meditation and spiritual contemplation. Adorned in voluminous robes gathered above the waist, every detail of this sculpture exudes elegance and grandeur. The serene expression on its face adds to its aura of tranquility and enlightenment. Notably, the forehead is inset with a lapis lazuli urna—a sacred mark that signifies wisdom. This photograph beautifully captures both the artistic mastery behind this piece as well as its spiritual significance within Buddhism. It serves as a reminder of devotion and reverence towards the teachings of Buddha. Displayed against a neutral background, every intricate detail shines through—highlighting not only its historical importance but also its aesthetic beauty. This image offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate this remarkable work from afar while immersing themselves in its rich cultural heritage.
