Bronze gilt on wood baseThailand , Bayon 13th century Dimensions: Height 14 cm Wide 5 cm Depth 3 cm without baseWeight: 645 grams with base In this depiction, Buddha is depicted as welcoming everyone with the hand gesture of encouragement. Another description comes from the literal translation from Sanskrit. There it is referred to as a “gesture of fearlessness” or a “gesture of protection”.Buddha standing with encouragement gesture right armThe illustration shows the right hand raised at shoulder level, but usually at chest level. The palms of the raised hand point forward towards the viewer.The Buddha's hand position - gesture of welcoming arose from the idea that Buddha is the highest priority and of course does not have to show respect to anyone. This means that Buddha is never depicted with the usual welcoming gesture, the “Wai” in Thailand. This gesture of “Wai” is also carried out under a different name in some Asian countries.A legend says that Buddha had supernatural powers of sense. He can see with the supersensory eye (divyacasus) what others cannot see. With supersensory hearing (divyaśrota) he can hear what others cannot hear. This scared many people off that another person could read their minds. This is how the gesture of encouragement came about, in which Buddha shows people not to be afraid.

Bronze gilt with turquoises ans semi precious stonesTibet , 19th century Dimensions: Height 26 cm Width 20 cm Depth 13 cmWeight: 3654 grams This glorious, richly patterned sculpture depicts Vaishravana, guardian (lokapala) of the north and bestower of wealth. This ancient Indian god assumed many iconographical forms that incorporated elements from various local traditions, since he was worshiped in India, China, and Central Asia before becoming popular in Tibet.Dressed in the garb of a mythic warrior-king, Vaishravana wears heavy, highly ornamental armor with lion heads acting as lappets; the sleeves of his upper garment flutter as though moved by the wind, revealing armor-covered lower arms. He holds a victory banner (dhvaja) and, tucked under his left arm, a mongoose spitting gems. Vaishravana's long dark tresses wrap around his upper ears and then fall onto his shoulders and upper torso. Kubera, the god of wealth and the regent of North is also known as Vaishravana and Jambhala. According to Hindu mythology Kubera was the son of a sage called Vishravas, hence his he is also called Vaishravana or Vishravana. He is also the god of wealth and guardian of North in Brahmanical Pantheon. Kubera has both Yi-dam and Dharmapala forms of great antiquity in India and Nepal. As Yi-dam he is called Jambhala, probably from the jambhara (citron or lemon) this form always carries in his right hand. In Tibet Kubera or Vaishravana has been one of the primary protectors of the Gelugpa sect since the fourteenth century. He has two main aspects, that of a warrior protector and that of deity of wealth. As a guardian of the North he is called Vaishravana by Buddhists, and his abode is Alaka in the Himalayas, abounding in wealth and magnificence, where he is attended by Yakshas and horse-headed men called kinnaras. It is believed that performing prosperity rituals to Kubera or Jambhala will increase wealth and prosperity. There is a special ceremony in Tibet for imploring Kubera for riches, which is called Yanyung. Kubera or Vaishravana or Jambhala is popular in Tibet, Mongolia, China, Nepal and Japan where he is known as Bishamon.Please have a look at the daylight pictures
