The figure is depicted with both hands raised in the Abhaya Mudra, the ancient Sanskrit gesture of protection and fearlessness, with open palms facing outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gesture has been used in Buddhist art for centuries to signify reassurance, spiritual authority, and the dispelling of fear. When shown with both hands raised, the symbolism is amplified, representing complete protection and composure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuddhism flourished in Java during the powerful Sailendra and Majapahit kingdoms (8th to 15th centuries). It was during this era that bronze casting of sacred figures developed through maritime trade and cultural exchange across Asia. Javanese craftsmen refined the traditional lost-wax casting technique, sculpting detailed wax models, forming clay molds, and casting molten metal to create enduring devotional sculptures. Each piece produced through this method remains individually cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze alloys were historically chosen for temple and sacred figures for their durability, structural integrity, and ability to preserve fine detail. Over time, natural oxidation creates tonal variations across the surface, visible here in the aged green patina that has developed over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture comes complete with its blackened metal support and its story printed and enclosed in a refined envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze alloy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Java, Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-20th century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional lost-wax casting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMudra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Abhaya Mudra (gesture of protection and fearlessness)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions with the metal support:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31cm tall x 7,5 x 7,5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWe ship worldwide. If your country is not listed in the checkout please \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\" href=\"mailto:info@kirschon.com\"\u003econtact us \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003efor a shipping quote.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"kirschon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53928649883977,"sku":"25BUBR7","price":541.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/8390\/4804\/files\/javanese-vintage-bronze-buddha-statue-double-abhaya-mudra.jpg?v=1786704587","url":"https:\/\/kirschon.com\/en-nl\/products\/large-vintage-standing-bronze-buddha-abhaya-varada-mudra-copy","provider":"Kirschon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
