The Gesture of Earth Witness

This exquisite brass sculpture captures the profound moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, symbolized by the Bhumisparsha mudra, or the "earth-touching" gesture. In this iconic pose, the Buddha sits in meditation, with his right hand resting on his right knee, fingertips pointing towards the earth. This gesture signifies his victory over Mara, the demon who sought to disrupt his path to enlightenment, and his calling upon the earth itself as his witness to the truths he had realized. Legend has it that Mara, in his arrogance, demanded a witness to Siddhartha's claim to enlightenment. The Bodhisattva, unfazed, extended his hand to touch the earth, invoking its ancient power and its silent acknowledgment of his attainment.

A Vision of Divine Grace and Artistic Craftsmanship

Crafted from lustrous brass, this statue embodies a serene and powerful presence. The meticulous detailing on the Buddha's robe is a testament to the artisan's skill, depicting a flowing garment adorned with intricate patterns that suggest both opulence and spiritual depth. The serene expression on the Buddha's face, with eyes gently closed in deep contemplation, conveys an aura of peace, wisdom, and compassion. The upturned ushnisha, the cranial protuberance symbolizing profound wisdom, crowns his head. The sculpture is further elevated by its ornate lotus throne, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening, where the Buddha is seated in a posture of unwavering resolve.

Connecting with Ancient Wisdom

The Bhumisparsha mudra is one of the most significant and widely recognized postures in Buddhist iconography, particularly in Theravada and Mahayana traditions. It represents not only the historical event of the Buddha's awakening under the Bodhi tree but also the universal principles of overcoming inner turmoil and the affirmation of truth. Placing this statue in your home or meditation space can serve as a constant reminder of the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness, compassion, and the potential for enlightenment within all beings. It invites a sense of tranquility and contemplation, fostering an environment conducive to spiritual practice and inner reflection. This piece is more than just a decorative item; it is a conduit to centuries of spiritual tradition and a tangible connection to the path of awakening.

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.
