While some Mudras involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and fingers. A Mudra is a spiritual gesture and an energetic seal of authenticity employed in the iconography and spiritual practice of Hindu and Buddhist religions. Buddhist Mudra : The Abhaya Mudrā "Mudra of Fearlessness" ~ symbolizes strength and inner security Meaning: Fearlessness Hand position: In this Mudra, the right hand is generally raised to shoulder height with arm bent. The palm of the right hand faces outwards and the fingers are upright and joined. The left hand hangs downwards by the side of the body. Significance: This gesture was shown by Buddha immediately after attaining enlightenment. It is a gesture which instills a sense of fearlessness to others as well. In Japan this Mudra is shown with the middle finger slightly projected forward. In Thailand and Laos this Mudra is more common in the walking Buddha. Definition Syrinx shell : Syrinx aruanus, common name the Australian trumpet or false trumpet, is a species of extremely large sea snail measuring up to 91 cm long and weighing up to 18 kg. It is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae, and is the only species in the genus Syrinx. This is the largest living snail (shelled gastropod) species in the world, and arguably the largest (heaviest) gastropod in the world. Although the shell itself is quite well known to shell collectors because of its extraordinary size, little is known about the ecology and behavior of the species, except for one study about its feeding habits. This species occurs in the northern half of Australia and adjacent areas, including eastern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. These giant snails live on sandy bottoms in the intertidal zone and the sublittoral down to about 30 meters. It has not been over fished and this snail is locally very common. It is fished for food / consumption. Remarks : This finely detailed carved shell could make a stunning pendant, charm, amulet, a part of a necklace or other designer jewelry.
