carved seated in vajraparyankasana, the right hand extended in bhumisparshamudra and the left in dhyanamudra

There is some natural wear to the underside, consistent with age, and old chips to the hem of his robe falling around the Buddha's right knee, a few other occasional chips including a minute chip to the tip end of his left hand's thumb as well as small nicks to the some folds of his robe, but ‎overall the figure is in good condition.
