DESCRIPTION
Pair of medallions with Buddha. China, 19th century.
Various jades.
Measurements: 5 cm (diameter).
Pair of Chinese medallions representing two Buddhas worked in relief. Buddha reached the maximum evolutionary perfection, he turned suffering into happiness for all living beings. Born around 560 BC, his father was a raja who ruled the north-eastern province of India. At the age of 29, the young prince gave up his life of luxury, as he felt compelled to purify his body and turn it into an instrument of the mind by ridding it of earthly temptations. Here his head is crowned with a headdress depicting the Buddha, representing infinite wisdom.
