This is a lovely example of 'repousse', a traditional jewelry technique of hammering metal into a mold and hand chasing the details. The traditional image of Buddha is represented here; he holds his arm down and touches the earth with his fingers. This is known as bhumisparsha mudra (touching earth gesture) and suggests determination, confidence, and deep spiritual connection to the earth. One of a kind from our 2006 samples.(1.25 in w/ gold plate over sterling (vermeil))
