Statue of Ratnasambhava, Buddha of Abundance | Deity of Wealth and Equality
Ratnasambhava, Buddha of Abundance measures 38 cm (15 inches) in height and 23 cm (9.1 inches) in width, with a weight of 4.27 kg. Expertly crafted from an oxidized copper body, it is adorned with carefully inlaid gemstones that enhance its intricate details.
The deity’s right hand extends downward to touch the earth in the “Bhumisparsha Mudra,” calling the world to witness enlightenment, while the left hand rests in the lap, palm upward, signifying deep meditation. Seated in the meditative lotus posture, the figure embodies spiritual awakening and purity in Buddhist art. Draped in a simple monastic robe that elegantly covers the left shoulder, the Buddha reflects humility and renunciation of worldly desires. An ornate aureole rises behind the figure, adorned with turquoise inlays and intricate lotus motifs, evoking spiritual radiance and the attainment of higher wisdom. The curly hair and prominent cranial protuberance further symbolize elevated spiritual knowledge. Together, these elements create a harmonious representation of enlightenment, peace, and inner mastery.
