The Awakened One

This exquisite brass statue depicts the Buddha in a moment of profound significance. Seated in the lotus position, a posture symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening, he embodies serenity and enlightenment. The figure's right hand extends downward, fingers touching the earth – the *bhumisparsha mudra*, or earth-witness gesture. This powerful mudra recalls the moment when Siddhartha Gautama, on the verge of attaining enlightenment, was challenged by Mara, the demon of illusion. Mara attempted to dissuade him, claiming that Siddhartha had no right to Buddhahood. In response, Siddhartha touched the earth, calling upon it to bear witness to his countless lifetimes of merit and virtue that qualified him for enlightenment. The earth, personified by the goddess Sthavara, roared in affirmation, vanquishing Mara and confirming Siddhartha’s imminent enlightenment. This gesture is a potent reminder of the strength found in inner conviction and the ability to overcome obstacles on the path to spiritual awakening. The peaceful expression on the Buddha's face reflects the tranquility achieved through meditation and the cessation of suffering. His serene gaze encourages contemplation and introspection, inviting viewers to connect with their own inner wisdom and potential for enlightenment.

Artistry in Brass

Crafted from brass, this statue is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. The intricate details, from the folds of the robes to the delicate features of the face, demonstrate the dedication poured into its creation. The robes themselves are adorned with auspicious symbols, each carrying its own unique meaning and significance within Buddhist iconography. These carefully rendered motifs add depth and complexity to the piece, making it a rich tapestry of symbolism. The contrast between the warm gold hue of the body, the deep brown of the robes and lotus pedestal, and the silver accents creates a visually stunning piece that is both elegant and captivating. The lotus pedestal upon which the Buddha sits symbolizes purity, love, and rebirth. Just as the lotus rises from muddy waters to bloom in pristine beauty, so too can individuals rise above suffering to achieve enlightenment. This representation of the Buddha serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for transformation and the inherent goodness within all beings. The triple hued finish further elevates the statue's aesthetic appeal, lending depth and dimension to the form. The meticulous craftsmanship ensures that this piece will be a treasured addition to any space, serving as a reminder of the Buddha's teachings and the path to inner peace. The weight and feel of the brass add a sense of permanence and solidity, grounding the statue and lending it an aura of timeless wisdom. Whether used as a focal point for meditation, a decorative element in a home or office, or a cherished gift for a loved one, this Buddha statue will inspire contemplation and bring a sense of tranquility to any environment.

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.
