The Awakened One

Crafted with meticulous detail and reverence, this brass statue embodies the essence of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism. The statue depicts the Buddha in a serene meditative posture, seated upon an intricately adorned lotus throne. The delicate inlay work elevates this piece beyond mere representation, transforming it into a vibrant tapestry of color and texture. Each element contributes to the overall sense of tranquility and spiritual power.

Gestures of Enlightenment

Observe the Mudras, the symbolic hand gestures, which tell stories of Buddha's journey and teachings. In this depiction, one hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, the gesture of reassurance and protection, offering solace and dispelling fear. The other hand cradles a bowl, symbolizing the acceptance of alms and the renunciation of material possessions – a key tenet of the Buddhist path. The serene expression on Buddha's face reflects the inner peace and wisdom attained through enlightenment. His eyes are gently closed, inviting contemplation and introspection. The elongated earlobes, a characteristic feature of Buddha imagery, symbolize his past life as a prince who wore heavy jewelry.

A Lotus Throne of Rebirth

The lotus flower, upon which the Buddha sits, is a potent symbol in Buddhist philosophy. It represents purity, enlightenment, and rebirth. Just as the lotus rises from muddy waters to bloom in pristine beauty, so too can individuals overcome suffering and achieve spiritual awakening. The elaborate detailing of the lotus throne in this statue, adorned with colorful inlays, further emphasizes the flower's significance.

The Weight of Dharma

In Buddhist cosmology, Shakyamuni is not merely a historical figure but one of many Buddhas who appear across cosmic time to guide beings toward enlightenment. The teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, known as the Dharma, offer a path to liberation from suffering through understanding the nature of reality and cultivating compassion. This statue serves as a tangible reminder of that path, an invitation to engage with the wisdom and compassion embodied by the Buddha. The statue's construction from brass lends it a substantial weight and a sense of permanence, reflecting the enduring power of the Dharma.

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.
