Created during the 18th century by the Chinese School in the Qing dynasty, this majestic sculpture stands at an impressive size of 172.7 x 241.2 cm.

His right hand extends in varadamudra, symbolizing granting blessings and boons to his devotees. Meanwhile, his left hand rests above his lap with palm upward in dhyanamudra, representing meditation and inner peace. Dressed in voluminous robes gathered above the waist, every intricate detail has been meticulously crafted on this masterpiece. The serene expression on the Buddha's face exudes a sense of profound wisdom and enlightenment. Notably, his forehead is adorned with a lapis lazuli urna—a sacred mark that signifies spiritual awakening. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the spiritual significance embedded within this ancient artwork. It serves as a testament to both Chinese artistic mastery and Buddhist devotion throughout history. Displayed here from a private collection, this image allows us to appreciate and contemplate upon one of Buddhism's most revered figures—the Medicine Buddha—whose teachings inspire countless individuals seeking healing and enlightenment across different cultures worldwide.
