A vintage Sino-Tibetan brass statue of a Buddhist monk displaying the Vitarka mudra, the gesture argument, seated on a lotus pedestal. Mid-20th c. Possibly earlier?

On offer here is a large brass statue of a Buddhist monk displaying the Vitarka mudra, the gesture argument. In this gesture the tips of thumb and index finger touch to form a circle. All other fingers extend upwards. In Tibet and Nepal, this is the mystic gesture of Taras and Bodhisattvas. 

This beautiful brass statue originated in Sino-Tibet, and dates to the mid-20th c, perhaps earlier, with wear and patination commensurate with age. Worthy of special mention is the traditional Tibetan headdress perched high on the monk's head.

Please look carefully at the photographs as they form part of the description.
