His right hand is in the bhumisparsha mudrā (earth-touching gesture), representing the time he summoned the Earth to witness his enlightenment. His left hand carries an alms bowl, which represents resignation and the simplicity of the monastic path. The ushnisha, which represents the highest wisdom, rests atop his head, and his hair is curled in snail-like coils, alluding to the well-known account of snails shielding him from the sun during protracted meditation.
