Both hands in this pair of Buddha Hands are depicted in the gesture of Holding a Flower, holding a mandala flower. Crafted using gilt bronze technique, the Buddha Hands are adorned with abundant gilt, enhancing the beauty of the plump hand style, exhibiting splendid colors and evoking a sense of sanctity. Not only do the hands hold flowers, but the palm centers are also intricately engraved with flower motifs.
Based on the assessment of the base, it can be inferred that these Buddha Hands were individually cast as offerings, previously set in place rather than remnants of a Buddha statue. Whether for spatial decoration or as objects of veneration, this pair of Buddha Hands serves as an excellent choice. This pair of Buddha Hands is a collectible acquired in the past from an elderly Tibetan household, presumably originating from a temple.
