This print showcases a 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 exquisite 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, also known as the lotus position, with his right hand extended in varadamudra, symbolizing granting blessings and boons. His left hand rests above his lap, palm facing upward in dhyanamudra, representing meditation and inner peace. The Buddha is adorned in voluminous robes that are gathered above the waist. One cannot help but be drawn to the serene expression on his face and the lapis lazuli urna set on his forehead. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in this piece truly exemplify its imperial origins. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty of this monumental figure but also conveys a sense of spirituality and tranquility associated with Buddhism. It serves as a reminder of religious devotion and offers viewers an opportunity for reflection.
