PATAN MUSEUM EXHIBITION
Height: 25 cm / Width: 15 cm / Depth: 13 cm for each of the five statues.
These statues, executed with great delicacy and precision, were part of the exhibition at the Patan Museum (Kathmandu): “The Renaissance of Newari Woodcarving,” 2024.
Although wooden representations of Buddhas are numerous in Nepal, these five Buddhas stand out for the subtlety of their faces and the grace of the gestures of their hands.
The mudrās — codified hand gestures — each express a spiritual virtue specific to every Buddha.
Each of the five Buddhas is depicted with a specific mudrā: earth-touching (Akshobya), generosity (Ratnasambhava), teaching (Vairochana), meditation (Amitabha), and fearlessness (Amogasiddhi).
