The Sculpture of the Healing Buddha stands at 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) in height, with a base width of 6.1 inches (15.5 cm), making it an ideal size for both personal shrines and contemplative spaces, and weighing 1.55 kilograms. Crafted from oxidized copper, which accentuates the fine craftsmanship and sacred symbolism of the Medicine Buddha. This timeless piece serves as a powerful reminder of healing, inner peace, and the transformative energy of compassionate wisdom.
The Medicine Buddha is depicted seated in the lotus position (padmasana), symbolizing meditation and spiritual focus. The right hand is extended over the knee with the palm facing outward in the gesture of granting boons (varada mudra). The hand holds the stem of a medicinal plant, usually the myrobalan fruit (Terminalia chebula), which represents the healing of physical and mental suffering. The Medicine Buddha is dressed in the simple robes of a Buddhist monk, emphasizing renunciation and discipline.
