Antique Tibetan Vairocana Buddhist Wheel Turning Bronze Buddha Statue 法輪大日如來

Antique Tibetan Bronze Buddha Vairocana 毘盧遮那佛 Wheel Turning Dharmachakra Origin: Tibet. Circa: 19th Century H 8.75 in. (22cm.), W 6 in. (15cm), D 4.5 in. (11.5cm) Condition: very good! Vairocana is regarded as the Dharmakaya (true body) of the historical Gautama Buddha. This antique bronze statue of the Great Illuminator is well-cast and hand-traced, with an aged patina on lacquered copper and gold. It incorporates Newari and Tibetan Buddhist art traditions and design motifs. With his hair arranged in rows of tiny snail-curls on a high domed usnisa, the supreme Buddha is wearing a traditional sangha, seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus with a gold Dorji placed in front, his almond-shaped eyes downcast in serene meditation, as his sensitively modeled hands perform the mudra of the wheel-turning Dharmachakra, which in changing angles appears to be in motions, and that one can almost see the Dharma wheel spinning between his fingertips. Sealed with a Viswavajra repousse on coppe
