This is a 6th century Chinese stone Buddha statue on a stand with two spot lights. It is 6 foot tall very nicely preserved.
This mudra, formed with all five fingers of the left hand extended to touch the ground, symbolizes the Buddha's enlightenment, when he summoned the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment. The right hand intentions - raised and unarmed proposes friendship, or at least peace. It initially appears to be a natural gesture, was probably used from prehistoric times as a sign of good intentions. Since antiquity, it was a plain way of showing that you meant no harm since you did not carry any weapon.
