Description: Alongside spiritual icons and incense burners, altars used for ancestor worship were ritually laden with offerings of food and ripe fruits. Known as an offering fruit, this ceramic Buddha's hand citron would have been used as an evergreen alternative to fresh fruits during cold seasons. Considered an auspicious Buddhist offering and a symbol of wealth, the fingered citron is named for its resemblance to the Buddha's hand in prayer, in the gesture of a Buddhist mudra. Dated to the Mid 20th century, the citron figurine is brushed with yellow and blue-green glaze and adds a pop of bright color to a bookcase or table arrangement. This is by far the most eye catching Buddha’s Hand I’ve seen. It has slight crazing to its glaze but no chips or cracks. Both the top and bottom feature a 65 ceramic mold mark. The “Made in “ “ fades out so no exact region can be determined but my research suggests it’s Italy but nothing concrete to prove that. None the less, it’s an incredible vibrant addition to anyone’s collection or alter.
