Buddha Lends a Hand

This Buddha appears to be ready to lend a hand . . .

. . . or a foot.

I saw the Buddha head at Hengyang's West Lake Park. For a size reference, here is a young girl examining it:

I don't know why the parts were there, nor do I know what became of the rest of Buddha's body, assuming it ever existed. Perhaps a deep message is intended. Perhaps one can be found.
