Buddha Shakyamuni displaying the gesture of charity
The Buddha is standing fully upright. He displays with the right hand the gesture of gift bestowing (varada-mudra), while the left hand holds the edge of the monastic robe. The image of a standing Buddha Shakyamuni reflects some clearly recognizable influences by the North-Eastern Indian traditions prevalent during the Pala Period. This work can be classified as an example of a Tibetan workshop or an individual artist following consciously the North-Eastern Indian styles.
