Antique bronze amulet/statue of the standing Buddha.

Antique bronze amulet/statue of the standing Buddha .
*
This beautiful bronze statuette represents the Buddha standing with both hands raised.
This posture recalls a legend concerning a miracle of the Buddha.
One day on the seaside the Buddha
had a discussion with three arrogant hermits, who said
have more knowledge and magical powers than him.
At that moment the Buddha calmed a storm simply by raising his hands.
The three hermits were amazed, and they and their thousand disciples
became monks and disciples of the Buddha.
*
This Thai amulet of the standing Buddha is clearly ancient
both for its primitive style and its beautiful patina.
*
UNIQUE PIECE.
