Depicting the Final Moments

This captivating brass sculpture portrays the Buddha in his Parinirvana, the final passing into complete Nirvana. The image captures the moment of Siddhartha Gautama's death, freeing himself from the cycle of rebirth and earthly suffering at the age of 80. The reclining posture signifies not defeat, but rather a serene acceptance of the natural order of existence. The right hand supports the head, a gesture of peaceful transition as he delivered his final teachings to his disciples under the sal trees in Kushinagar. This poignant representation serves as a potent reminder of the impermanence of life and the ultimate goal of enlightenment in Buddhist philosophy.

Craftsmanship and Detail

The statue has been meticulously handcrafted in India, using traditional techniques to bring forth a powerful image. The brass casting captures the gentle features of the Buddha's face, reflecting the serenity that emanated from him even in his last moments. The robe is adorned with inlaid stone, creating a stunning visual tapestry of color and texture. The intricate mosaic work, painstakingly applied by skilled artisans, showcases the rich cultural heritage of Indian craftsmanship. Each detail, from the curls of his hair to the gentle curve of his smile, speaks volumes about the artist's dedication and expertise.

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance

The Parinirvana mudra (hand gesture) depicted here is a significant symbol in Buddhist art. The reclining posture is not one of sleep, but of profound awareness and detachment. The body faces west, the direction of death in some traditions, but also symbolizing the setting sun and the end of a cycle. The image is not intended to be morbid, but rather a source of inspiration and reflection. It is a reminder that death is an inevitable part of life, and that by following the Buddha's teachings, one can attain liberation from suffering. This statue serves as a focal point for meditation and contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder the deeper meanings of life, death, and enlightenment.

A Testament to Dharma

Owning this statue is more than acquiring a decorative object; it's an invitation to deepen your understanding and appreciation of Buddhist principles. It's a tangible reminder of the Buddha's teachings on compassion, mindfulness, and the path to inner peace. This depiction of the Parinirvana serves as a potent symbol of the possibility of liberation, offering solace and guidance to those seeking to understand their own mortality and find meaning in the face of life's challenges. It is a fitting addition to any home, meditation space, or collection, serving as a constant source of inspiration and contemplation.

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.
