Object Details

Catalogue Note

An antique Sino-Tibetan bronze Buddha shown in dharmachakra mudra, the gesture of setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion. The image is centred on teaching rather than meditation or protection, giving the hands exceptional iconographic importance.

Turning the Wheel of Dharma

Dharmachakra mudra refers to the Buddha’s first teaching after enlightenment. The gesture links the sculpture directly to the transmission of doctrine and is particularly meaningful within monastic and scholarly Buddhist contexts.

Iconography and Context

Dharmachakra Mudra refers to setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion and is associated with the Buddha’s first teaching. The paired hand gesture makes the sculpture specifically didactic rather than simply meditative.

Condition and Display

The bronze surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 10 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
