The enlightened one knows and heals all. Gautam Buddha is seated in padmasana while his right hand is in boon granting position and the left hand is resting on his lap. A fine example of Nepalese aesthetics-inspired craftsmanship.

The main attraction of the sculpture is undoubtedly the inlay work and filigree art. Blue, red and turquoise gemstones have been used to create beautiful floral patterns on what can be assumed as his upper garment and monastic robe. The robe is also adorned in filigree designs. The enlightened one looks serene as a stem of flower comes from his index finger. The sculpture will be a great addition to your home décor and collectibles.

The Noble Sage of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene presence of Gautam Buddha in the act of imparting his profound teachings, the Dharma. Seated in a meditative lotus posture, with hands resting gently in his lap, the Buddha exudes an aura of profound peace and wisdom. His right hand is raised, palm facing outward, a gesture known as Abhaya Mudra, symbolizing fearlessness, protection, and the dispelling of doubt. This iconic pose signifies the Buddha's power to offer solace and reassurance to all sentient beings, mirroring the stories of his compassion in the ancient texts, where he is depicted as a beacon of hope in times of suffering. The artistry evident in this piece is truly remarkable. The statue is crafted from high-quality brass, a material often associated with longevity and spiritual resonance. What elevates this depiction beyond the ordinary is the intricate inlay work that adorns the Buddha's robes and the base. Delicate patterns, reminiscent of ancient mandalas and sacred geometry, are meticulously inlaid with vibrant semi-precious stones. These colorful accents – emerald greens, ruby reds, and sapphire blues – not only enhance the visual appeal but are also believed to carry symbolic meanings in Buddhist traditions, representing various qualities and cosmic forces. The detailed ornamentation on the flowing robes suggests the divine splendor that accompanies enlightenment, a visual testament to the transformative power of the Dharma.

A Timeless Symbol of Peace and Wisdom

Gautam Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, is revered globally for his teachings on the path to liberation from suffering. His journey from a prince to an ascetic, culminating in his attainment of Nirvana under the Bodhi tree, is a narrative that has inspired millions for over two millennia. This statue embodies that profound spiritual realization and the subsequent compassion with which he shared his insights. The meditative gaze, the gentle curve of his lips, and the serene posture all contribute to a feeling of inner calm, making it a perfect focal point for any space dedicated to reflection and spiritual practice. The tradition of crafting Buddha statues by hand in India boasts a rich history, drawing upon centuries of artistic heritage and devotional practice. Each stroke of the artisan's tool, each meticulously placed inlay, imbues the statue with a unique spirit. This piece, with its detailed craftsmanship and symbolic representation, serves not merely as a decorative object but as a conduit for contemplation, reminding the observer of the timeless principles of mindfulness, compassion, and the pursuit of inner peace. It is a tangible piece of cultural heritage, bringing the essence of ancient Indian artistry and profound spiritual wisdom into the modern world.

The Artistry of Inlay Work

The captivating inlay work on this statue is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Indian artisans. This technique, where different materials are embedded into a base material to create decorative patterns, requires immense precision and patience. The artisans have masterfully employed this art form to bring the Buddha's attire to life. The ornate patterns, swirling and interweaving, are brought into sharp relief by the contrast with the brass. The vibrant stones, carefully selected and cut, are set with such expertise that they appear to be an intrinsic part of the design, radiating a gentle glow. This intricate detailing not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds a tactile dimension to the statue, inviting a closer examination and appreciation of the artistry involved.

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.
