Porcelain sculpture of the mudra, the sacred gesture of abundance.

Since time immemorial hand gestures have been a language in their own right, and their expressiveness and symbolism have made them is a way of communicating in themselves. With this creation, our artists have focused on the language of mudras, gestures that come from yoga and meditation practices from Hinduism and Buddhism. For the former, there is a total of 24 mudras, one for each hour of the day, with each one representing a series of different benefits. For the latter, they are gestures that predispose the body for meditation and help in concentration. Abundance Mudra is inspired by these age-old gestures. In this particular version, the hand is decorated with geometric patterns and plant motifs that are meticulously etched on the fingers. The hands rest on a sculpted flower with delicate petals handmade one by one. **Different tones of golden luster were used in the decoration of the etchings, some with a glazed finish and other matte. Meanwhile, the flower, handmade petal by petal, is decorated in a tone that combines yellow, pink and a subtle hint of gold. Abundance Mudra celebrates the wealth of life, the gifts it showers us with. And gratitude for all that life gives us.
