In this image, the Buddhist ideal of serenity finds a noble expression, with the form of the Buddha's body, the expression of his face, and a soft smile, suggesting the ultimate harmony achieved by the Enlightened one.

The Buddha here sits on a lotus seat, in deep meditation, with his legs crossed in the adamantine (Vajraparyanka) pose, with the soles of the feet turned upwards. He wears a monastic garment, leaving the right arm and breast bare. He does not bedeck himself with ornaments. The Buddha sits with his left hand on his lap, the palm facing upwards. The right hand touches the earth, calling it to witness his victory over Mara, the Evil One, who is trying to wear Gautama away from the path of truth. This is the earth touching attitude.

The position of the body, the hand gestures, and the attributes are all symbolic in nature. In fact, the shapes of different parts of the body are prescribed in the sculptor's manual. He has an urna (a small, round protuberance above the bridge of the nose, the fourth of the thirty two superior marks of Buddha), the usnisa and long-lobed ears.

The smooth contours of the Buddha's body has graceful modulations and makes it beautiful piece of serenity spreading it in the immediate milieu.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
