Introducing the Exquisite Pair of Mayadevi Statues

These handcrafted 20-inch brass statues depict Mayadevi, the mother of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. The statues are not only visually stunning but also hold deep cultural and spiritual significance within the Buddhist tradition. Each statue is meticulously detailed, showcasing the artistry of Tibetan craftsmanship. The graceful poses and ornate detailing, including intricate floral patterns on their garments, capture the serene beauty and dignity associated with this important figure. The symmetrical design allows for a harmonious and balanced display, perfect for enhancing any space with a touch of spiritual elegance.

Mayadevi: The Sacred Mother in Buddhist Lore

According to Buddhist scriptures, Mayadevi was a queen of exceptional beauty and virtue. Her dream of a white elephant entering her womb foretold the birth of the future Buddha. The dream is a pivotal moment in the Buddha’s life story, signifying his divine lineage and destiny. The Lumbini Garden, where Siddhartha Gautama was born, is often depicted with Mayadevi grasping a branch of the Sal tree during his birth. These statues honor the pivotal role Mayadevi played in the life of the Buddha, symbolizing nurturing, grace, and the auspicious beginnings of a transformative journey. The intricate carvings on the statues are not merely decorative; they represent the rich tapestry of Buddhist iconography and symbolism, each element carrying its own layer of meaning and significance.

The Art of Tibetan Brass Sculpture

These statues are a testament to the exceptional skill of Tibetan artisans. The lost-wax casting technique, a traditional method passed down through generations, is employed to create these pieces. The process involves creating a wax model, covering it in clay, melting out the wax, and pouring molten brass into the resulting mold. This age-old process demands immense precision and patience, resulting in the flawless execution and exquisite detail seen in these statues. The warm golden hue of the brass, enhanced by the intricate carvings, evokes a sense of warmth, serenity and timeless elegance. The craftsmanship speaks to the profound reverence and devotion that went into creating these pieces, making them more than just decorative objects; they are cherished representations of spiritual devotion.

A Harmonious Addition to Your Sacred Space

Whether you are a devout Buddhist practitioner or simply appreciate the beauty of fine art, this pair of Mayadevi statues will enrich your home or sacred space. They serve as a reminder of the profound motherly love and the auspicious circumstances surrounding the birth of the Buddha. Displayed together, they create a beautiful focal point, fostering a sense of peace, tranquility, and spiritual reflection. Their presence will not only add aesthetic appeal but also create a positive and uplifting atmosphere. The statues are perfect for meditation spaces, altars, or as a statement piece in any room seeking to embody the values of peace, compassion, and spiritual enlightenment. The 20-inch height ensures they make a noticeable yet harmonious presence, allowing the intricate details to be readily appreciated. The inclusion of two symmetrical statues enhances the overall impact, creating a sense of balance and completeness in your sacred space.

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.
