Buddha

Buddha sits cross-legged (padmasana) on a lotus seat, mounted on the lion throne (simhasana) ─ the latter bearing lotus petal design on three sides. His right hand is in an earth touching gesture (bhumi-sparsha-mudra) and the left is placed on the lap. He bears an urna mark on the forehead and has extended lobes of ears and lines on the neck. The hair is arranged in small schematic spirals with a top-knot (Ushnisha). The robe is draped over the left shoulder, leaving the right bare. The frilled edge of the lower garment can be seen in the front.
