The Moment of Enlightenment

This magnificent brass sculpture captures Lord Buddha in the profound Bhumisparsha Mudra, the "Earth-Touching" gesture. It is said that it was in this very posture that Siddhartha Gautama achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, facing down the temptations of Mara, the demon king, by calling the Earth as his witness. The right hand, extended and resting on the right knee with fingertips pointing downwards, signifies steadfastness and the act of overcoming all worldly distractions and negative forces. The left hand rests in his lap, palm upwards, symbolizing meditation and spiritual awareness.

A Tapestry of Auspicious Symbolism

The intricate robes of this Buddha are not merely fabric; they are a visual narrative, adorned with a rich array of Chinese auspicious symbols. Dragons, potent emblems of power, strength, and good fortune, writhe and coil across the garment, embodying a spiritual guardian. The graceful deer, often associated with gentleness, peace, and longevity in various Asian traditions, are depicted with serene elegance, representing the purity of Buddhist teachings. The presence of Garuda, the divine eagle-like creature from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, known for its strength and ability to overcome obstacles, further enhances the protective and potent aura of the sculpture. These interwoven symbols speak to a cross-cultural reverence for the Buddha's teachings, demonstrating how his message of compassion and enlightenment resonated and was embraced across diverse cultures, each imbuing his imagery with their own significant motifs.

Crafted by Hand in India

This exceptional piece is a testament to the enduring artistry and skilled craftsmanship of Indian artisans. Each detail, from the serene expression on the Buddha's face to the delicate carvings on his robes and the lotus-adorned pedestal, has been meticulously hand-fashioned from brass. The process of creating such a sculpture is a labor of love, passed down through generations, requiring immense patience and a deep understanding of form and material. The rich patina of the brass, achieved through skilled craftsmanship, adds a timeless quality, making this a truly heirloom-worthy object. Its substantial presence and detailed artistry invite contemplation and a deep connection to the spiritual journey of Lord Buddha.

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.
