Rare Vintage Hand-Carved Alabaster “Hand of Buddha” Sculpture – Gyan Mudra
A refined and contemplative sculptural work, this rare vintage alabaster carving depicts the sacred Gyan Mudra, the Buddhist gesture symbolizing wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual awakening.
Expertly hand-carved from solid alabaster, the sculpture reveals the stone’s luminous translucence and velvety surface, qualities prized by collectors of devotional and minimalist sculpture.
The elegant composition captures the serene poise of the Buddha’s teaching gesture—thumb and forefinger gently joined in a circle representing unity and enlightenment—while the remaining fingers extend gracefully, creating a harmonious, sculptural silhouette. Both meditative and decorative, the piece brings a quiet sense of balance and sophistication to curated interiors, from serene modernist spaces to eclectic bohemian collections.
A substantial example in excellent vintage condition, free of chips or cracks, with only light age-appropriate wear. Its generous scale and luminous material make it a striking accent for a library, mantel, or contemplative display.
