The colors and patterns in the stone, and the individual carving itself makes this stone Buddha statue unique.

dharmachakra mudra
, the "gesture of preaching the Dharma". This posture is commemorative of one of the most important moments in the life of the Buddha, the occasion of His first sermon after his Enlightenment.
