Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Sakyamuni Buddha (Shakyamuni) is depicted in this posture as a reminder of his fundamental teachings on renunciation, simplicity and the importance of monastic practice.
The begging bowl symbolizes the abandonment of material possessions and the link between the monastic community (Sangha) and the laity who support the monks by offering them food.
The image may represent Dipankara, the Buddha of the past preceding Shakyamuni, but in the Buddhist canon, he is instead depicted standing with his bowl (piṇḍapāta) and hand in abahaya mudra or varada mudra.
Burma, Mandalay period, late 19th century. Gilded wood and dry lacquer. Vestiges of verroterie (mica) ribbon around the face.
