    The heavy metal looking sign is supposed to be the Karana mudra that's apparently for banishing and expelling negativity. It is supposed to express a very powerful energy that is able to expel negative energy & ward off evil. The superstitious who have this Buddha making the Karana mudra, are encouraged to try and be very mindful about its placement. I wonder if Karuna and Karana are related. – Lowbrow Oct 09 '19 at 14:27

    Thanks for the info! I did think it was to ward off negative energy actually. It's been placed by the front entry way at my mother's place. – Benbodhi Oct 09 '19 at 22:56

They are all the Buddha as far as I can see. The top one looks Balinese. The metal casting look possible Indian, I would guess 1950s or earlier.

These are Buddhas. I couldn’t find any mention of mudras in suttas. I asked about mudras in this forum but nobody found any mention of mudras in suttas.
