A Buddha wearing monastic garb, with his shoulders and arms covered, is seated in the classic meditation posture on a plinth with a lotus base. The garment is delineated by random striations giving it a loosely clad look and a thick silver colored border with intricate designs. The robe also has highly carved patterns giving the figure a sophisticated appearance. Some of the supernatural signs- three marks around the neck, elongated earlobes, tuft of hair between the eyebrows, urna, curls and ushnisha atop the head very clearly indicated. The hand of the figure forms the turning of the wheel of the law gesture (dharmachakrapravartanamudra).

This is a typical Buddhist gesture displayed by the Buddha to symbolize his preaching of the first sermon at Sarnath near Varanasi. In Vajrayana art, the gesture is also associated with the transcendental Buddha, Vairochana. 

Although sculpted in the round, the figure is flat and attenuated. The square face is typical of Nepali figures of the fifteenth century or later. The prominent curls and wide nose are also characteristic of later sculptures. Thus we may assume that the statue was inspired by late fifteenth century Tibetan art. The figure radiates peace and serenity and will add calm to your surroundings.



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.
