Abhay Mudra,
Publisher: National Museum, New Delhi
Description: This unusual Buddha from the Phophanar hoard shows a garment covering both the shoulders. The features of this image are well defined; the aquiline nose, pierced earlobes, smiling lips and the half-closed downcast eyes add to his benevolent expression. In common with other images from this hoard, he displays the same gestures of hand: the abhaya-mudra with the right, while the left-hand holds the edge of his garment. An inscription at the back reads: "Deyadharmoyam Sakyabhikshukacharya Bhadanta Buddhadasarya / Yadatra puf Yam tad bhavatu sarvasatvanam" i.e. gift of Bhadanta Buddhadasa, the preacher of the Sakyas.
Style :- Gupta
