Standing Buddha with medicinal fruit

Figure of Buddha standing on a sacred lotus flower with both shoulders covered in an ornate robe. With his right hand the Buddha offers practitioners the medicinal myrobalan fruit to cure their spiritual woes. The left hand holds his robes. A flower design marks the middle of the decorated band between the forehead and the hair. The robes, glass inlays, and the standing posture are typical of Buddha sculptures of the mid to late 1800s. Made of wood, lacquered, gilded and set with coloured mirror-glass.
