Mahayana Buddha Standing

This is a finely detailed, full-body sculpture of a standing "Mahayana Buddha" in a peaceful posture, standing on an ornate double-lotus pedestal. Extending the artistic style of  "Mahayana Buddha" to a standing figure, he is clad in richly layered, flowing monastic robes decorated with elaborate border patterns, which gracefully drape over both shoulders and cascade in fluid folds down to his bare feet, partially revealing a curved chest line.

His right hand is raised in a gesture, delicately holding a slender, twisting branch of blooming lotus flowers that gracefully extends downward to rest in the open palm of his left hand, which is held forward at waist level. His head features tightly curled hair gathered into an ushnisha, elongated earlobes, and a serene, meditative expression with eyes gently downcast and a small urna on his forehead.

The piece features a striking antique bronze-style finish, combining a warm golden-brown base with a deep espresso-brown patina in the recessed drapery, intricate borders, and lotus petals, with polished gold highlights on the raised surfaces like the face, hands, and ornaments. The entire figure stands atop a decorative, low-profile lotus pedestal adorned with repeating petal motifs, set against a dark, textured studio background.
