Sultanganj Buddha
The Sultanganj Buddha is a Gupta-Pala transitional period sculpture, the largest substantially complete copper Buddha figure known from this time. The statue is dated by archaeologists to between 500 to 700 AD. It is 2.3m high and 1m wide, weighs over 500 kg. It was found in the North Indian town of Sultanganj, Bhagalpur district, Bihar〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/articles/2006/05/10/sultanganj_buddha_feature.shtml〕 in 1861 during the construction of the East Indian Railway.〔Wingfield, Christopher (2010) Touching the Buddha: Encounters with a charismatic object.

==Description==
The Sultanganj Buddha was cast in pure, but unrefined copper by the ''cire perdue'' or lost wax technique. The Buddha statue stands with his right hand raised in ''abhayamudra'' (a gesture of reassurance or protection), while his left hand is held downwards with palm outwards, said to indicate granting a favour. The end of the monastic robe is held between the thumb and forefinger of this hand in the manner still practised by Theravadin monks to this day.
