The Earth-Touching Gesture: A Symbol of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Buddha in the profound Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture. This iconic posture represents the moment of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, when he called upon the Earth Goddess to bear witness to his victory over Mara, the demon of illusion and temptation. The left hand rests in his lap, symbolizing meditation, while the right hand is extended downwards, fingertips gently touching the earth. This gesture signifies steadfastness, groundedness, and the ultimate realization of truth. The serene expression on Buddha's face, with half-closed eyes, conveys deep contemplation and inner peace, inviting the viewer to embark on their own journey of spiritual awakening.

Artistry and Craftsmanship: A Legacy of Indian Heritage

Handmade in India, this statue is a testament to the rich artisanal traditions and intricate craftsmanship that have been passed down through generations. Fashioned from high-quality brass, the sculpture possesses a radiant glow that captures the divine essence of the Buddha. The meticulous detailing, from the delicate folds of his monastic robe to the ornate patterns adorning his garments, showcases the skill and dedication of the artisan. The elaborate base, designed to resemble a lotus pedestal, further enhances the grandeur and spiritual significance of the piece. The interplay of polished brass and darker patinated accents adds depth and visual interest, highlighting the exquisite sculpting. This piece is more than just a decorative object; it is a sacred artifact imbued with history and devotion.

Cultural Significance and Symbolism

The Bhumisparsha Mudra holds immense significance in Buddhist philosophy. It symbolizes the moment of ultimate understanding, where the Buddha achieved Nirvana. It is a reminder that enlightenment is attainable through persistent meditation, self-discipline, and the rejection of worldly desires and illusions. The earth, in this context, represents purity, steadfastness, and the foundation of all existence. By touching the earth, the Buddha declared his victory over his own inner demons and the external obstacles that sought to prevent his enlightenment. This Mudra is particularly prevalent in Theravada Buddhism and is often depicted in ancient Buddhist art found in temples and monasteries across Southeast Asia. Owning this statue offers a tangible connection to these profound spiritual narratives and an enduring symbol of hope and liberation.

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.
