Buddha Vitarka Mudra Wood Relief Panel- Teaching Buddha

Seated comfortably atop a lotus blossom, this smiling Buddha displays the vitarka mudra or teaching gesture. Supported by the outstretched wings of a pair of swans, the pose symbolizes the transmission of knowledge and insight, gained only after the achievement of enlightenment. Hand carved from suar wood native to Bali, this relief panel is presented by Eka.
