Gyaan mudra, or gesture of knowledge, is a common yoga and meditation hand posture that symbolizes wisdom, connects individual consciousness with the universe, and promotes concentration and inner calm. Deftly blending classical and modern sculpture traditions, Los Angeles based artist Anne Ricketts has created this miniature bronze sculptures depicting this gesture. The design is first sculpted in clay, and then cast in bronze using a labor-intensive, time-honored technique. The result is an elegant sculpture with a decided weight and richness. Made in California.
