Large Scale Vintage Medicine Buddha Painting Ausadhi Badhai Antique Oil on Board

Very striking larger oil painting on canvas laid down on Masonite with gilt background depicting Buddha in a seated position on a giant lotus flower. The flower represents a symbol of fortune, meaning rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment. The painting is believed to be of Bhaajyaguru, the Buddha of healing and medicine, commonly referred to as the "Medicine Buddha". A very unique painting dating from the early 20th century, it features many symbols expressing the continuous energy of cosmic order. The hand lowered with the palm facing outward is the gesture of bestowing blessings or of giving charity. There is a dharmachakra painted at the waistline which is connected in a way to the jewelry or garment Buddha wears, a symbol of Theravada Buddhism. He is also depicted wearing a five points crown or five protrusions crown signifying that this Buddha holds the wisdom of all five Dhyani Buddhas, meditation deities. Truly an amazing work of art with exquisite details and beautiful patina. Presented in a painted and gilt frame.
