Embodiment of Boundless Compassion

This magnificent brass statue depicts the Eleven Headed Thousand Armed Avalokiteshvara, a revered Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. Avalokiteshvara, whose name translates to "Lord Who Looks Down," is the embodiment of compassion and mercy. In this multi-faceted representation, the Bodhisattva's eleven heads symbolize different stages of spiritual enlightenment and the myriad forms through which compassion can manifest. The countless arms, reaching out in all directions, signify the boundless ability to perceive and alleviate suffering throughout the universe.

A Symphony of Symbolism and Craftsmanship

The statue is a testament to exquisite artistry and deep spiritual significance. Each of the eleven heads is meticulously crafted, conveying serene wisdom and profound empathy. The main visage, at the center of the composition, is portrayed in the traditional

anjali mudra

, with hands pressed together in prayer and salutation, a gesture of respect and harmonious greeting. The multitude of arms emanating from the central figure are adorned with symbolic objects, each representing a different aspect of Avalokiteshvara's enlightened actions and powers. The use of vibrant inlay, featuring rich red and deep blue stones alongside turquoise-hued tiles, adds a layer of visual splendor, echoing the precious gems often associated with divine beings in Buddhist iconography. These stones are not merely decorative; they represent the preciousness of the teachings and the enlightened qualities of the Bodhisattva.

The Legend of Avalokiteshvara

In Buddhist lore, Avalokiteshvara vowed to liberate all sentient beings from suffering before resting. The legend states that upon nearing his goal, he saw the immense scope of remaining suffering and let out a cry of despair. In response to this powerful emotion, his head split into eleven pieces, and Amitabha Buddha transformed these into eleven heads, symbolizing his renewed determination and expanded capacity to help. The thousand arms, in some accounts, arose from the desire to embrace all beings in his compassionate care. This deity is a beacon of hope and solace, offering a path towards understanding and liberation from the cycles of worldly pain.

A Sacred Centerpiece for Devotion

Handmade in India, this impressive brass sculpture is more than just an object of art; it is a focal point for devotion, meditation, and contemplation. Its substantial size and intricate details invite prolonged observation, allowing the viewer to connect with the profound spiritual energy it embodies. Place it in your home or meditation space to invoke a sense of peace, protection, and boundless compassion. The lustrous brass, combined with the vibrant inlay, creates a piece that is both spiritually uplifting and visually captivating, a true representation of the enduring legacy of Tibetan Buddhist art.

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.
