Our bronze 'Buddha's Hand' statue is individually hand-casted in Thailand, from bronze. It has a fine shape and a delicate design, with a symbol in the palm. It sits on a wooden display stand. This lovely hand made statue is a piece of art that will both illuminate and inspire any room in your home.

The Hand of Buddha has been a powerful symbol of the presence and teachings of the Buddha throughout Asia. Contemplating such figures is an exercise in meditation, in effect a visual mantra. This hand shows the finger position (mudra) known as the teaching gesture, with the thumb and index finger forming the Wheel of Law. The symbol in the palm is of the Lotus Flower, symbol of Purity.

In Buddhist iconography, all hand gestures or mudras have a meaning. Mudra movements mirror the movements of the mind, and are one of the main symbolic means of conveying the principles of the dharma (protection). One of the most common is the mudra of teaching, in which the fine discriminative insight of the Buddhist way is portrayed by the joining of the thumb and index finger, a circularity also recalling the Wheel of the Law and the eternal continuation of the dharma.

Buddha means "one who is intuitive, awakened, or enlightened".
