Medium Mongolian Buddha

This Buddha sculpture is a reproduction of the statue
from the Heicheng archaeological site in Inner Mongolia. This relic dates
back to the Xia State (1032-1226). Images of the Buddha were venerated as
reminders of the life and virtues of the great teacher, and all representations
have certain physical signs of perfection; elongated ears, and a top knot
of hair which covers the second brain grown by the Buddha to contain his enlightenment.
The hands are in the traditional meditation position.
