An antique Shakyamuni marble stele, where inscribed on its back side lies a lengthy dedication honoring Buddha and the family for which this piece was carved. Pictured, the Buddha sits on a tiered pedestal, flanked by two bodhisattvas holding lotus flowers. At the base of the pedestal, two lohans hold flames. The Buddha’s hands display two mudras, his right in a no fear mudra while his left is engaged in the ‘earth pressing’ mudra, indicating his instance of enlightenment as witnessed by the earth goddess Sthavara. A flaming halo surrounds his head, while expressions of grace, skillfully rendered, lie on all five of the figure’s faces. A beautiful and original piece in very good condition.
