The gesture called bodhyagrimudra appears to have been one of the typical handposes assigned to Vairocana. This is the celestial Buddha who presides over the center and the zenith of the Universe. His images have been found installed on the top of the Buddhist cosmogram at the Borobudur of the ninth century. His cult continued to prevail in Java to the last phase of the Buddhist/Hindu culture on that island.
This item pertains to the East Javanese period. The form of the body, the triangular end of the robe which falls over the crossed legs, the clumsy arrangement of the clusters of pleats upon the shoulders, the structure of the throne and its frorid ornamentations, all suggest the period of execution in the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries.
