The Embodiment of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue depicts Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism, in a posture of deep contemplation and spiritual attainment. Crafted by skilled artisans in India, this piece is a testament to centuries of artistic tradition and devotional practice. The serene countenance of the Buddha, with his eyes gently closed and a subtle smile gracing his lips, radiates an aura of profound peace and wisdom. His ushnisha, the cranial protuberance symbolizing his enlightened understanding, is adorned with intricate detailing, further enhancing his divine presence.

A Symphony of Color and Texture

What sets this statue apart is the stunning inlay work that adorns the Buddha's robes and seated posture. The vibrant turquoise tiles create a striking mosaic effect on his sanghati, representing the earthy connection and the path to liberation. Accompanying this are rows of fiery red beads, perhaps symbolizing passion for the Dharma, or the transformative power of enlightenment that burns away ignorance. The base on which the Buddha sits is similarly embellished with a rich red mosaic, interspersed with exquisite turquoise cabochons, reminiscent of precious jewels scattered upon the earth. These decorative elements not only add visual splendor but also imbue the statue with a tactile richness, inviting a closer appreciation of its meticulous craftsmanship.

Echoes of Ancient Wisdom

The gesture of the Buddha's right hand, raised with palm facing outwards, is known as the Abhaya Mudra, symbolizing fearlessness, protection, and reassurance. This gesture evokes the stories of Buddha confronting and taming fierce animals, or overcoming the temptations of Mara, thereby assuring his followers that they too can find refuge from suffering. The left hand, resting in his lap and cradling a small alms bowl, signifies his renunciation of worldly possessions and his commitment to a life of simplicity and compassion. This particular pose is deeply significant in Buddhist iconography, representing the moment of his ultimate enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

A Testament to Indian Artistry

This handmade creation hails from India, a land deeply interwoven with the philosophy and practice of Buddhism. The tradition of crafting such intricate statues in brass, a metal historically associated with purity and divinity, has been passed down through generations of artisans. The meticulous inlay work, a hallmark of Indian decorative arts, requires immense skill and patience, transforming raw materials into a piece of breathtaking beauty. Owning this Shakyamuni Buddha statue is not just acquiring an object of art, but bringing home a conduit of peace, a reminder of the Buddha's timeless teachings, and a celebration of exquisite craftsmanship.

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.
