Hand of Buddha 30.81
Gift of C.T. Loo, 1930

The large right hand has until recently been attributed to the Tang dynasty and proposed to be from the Longmen Caves. The large hand is carved and finished with great care given to the articulation of the rounded tips of the fingers, the swelling forms and the deeply cut fingernails. Part of the Buddha's robe is attached to the back of the hand. It can be seen to have been cut from the Maitreya Buddha on the south side of the central pillar of the North Cave. In a photograph taken in the 1920's the heel of the hand still remained on the figure's arm, but it is now cut off at above the wrist. It's mate, the left hand is in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
In a 1941 article about the left hand, then in the de Young Museum, Genevieve K. Benton suggests that this was the missing right hand of the Buddha on the south side of the central pillar in the North Cave, but this was neither clearly states, nor widely noted.
