Engrave Buddha the Preacher Plaque Showpiece - 23 cm

Buddha the ascetic prince is also listed as an avatar of Vishnu in many Hindu scriptures including Bhagavata Purana, Bhavishya Purana, and the Narasimha Purana, to mention three. In the Puranic text Bhagavata Purana, he is the twenty-fourth of twenty-five avatars, prefiguring a forthcoming final incarnation. Similarly, a number of Hindu traditions portray Buddha as the most recent (ninth) of ten principal avatars, known as the Da���������������������������vat������������ra (Ten Incarnations of God). Buddha's teachings deny the authority of the Vedas and consequently Buddhism is generally viewed as a n������������stika school from the perspective of orthodox Hinduism.This illustration of Buddha is from a series on the 11 Avatars of Vishnu originally made by Nina Paley for the ooklyn Museum.We have engraved the illustration on a circular plaque fitted with a keyhole hanger on the back.A set of three different avatar plaques hung on a wall is a great way to introduce beauty and peace into your home.
