In the Qing Dynasty, a pair of exquisitely crafted gilt bronze Buddha Hands with the gesture of Holding a Flower emerged in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The hand gesture, known as mudra, symbolizes the principles of Buddhist doctrine and holds mystical symbolism and power within Buddhism, bearing significant importance. The Dharani Sutra states: 'Reciting mantras with hand gestures and various types of seals, reciting various mantras using hand seals, one can easily achieve success,' which implies that certain hand gestures can facilitate spiritual realization in religious practices. The hand gestures of Buddha statues carry specific meanings, serving as concrete expressions of the realization of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and also as crucial identifiers of different Buddha statues.
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.
