This crowned buddha is seated in dhyanasana (meditation pose) with his hands in abhaya (fearlessness) or virtaka (teaching) mudra (hand gesture).The depiction of a Buddha wearing a crown is uncommon as bodily adornment which are associated with worldliness do not usually appear on a Buddha. However, when the Buddha is depicted in this form, it represents his former existence as royalty since the historical Buddha was born as a prince of the Shakya clan.
