A washed-out figure of the seated Buddha. His legs are in the perfect padmasana - heels touching each other directly below the navel, the body balanced upon the knees-and-hip trifecta. In the palm of His left hand resting on the lap is the almsbowl, integral to His years-long mendicant status.

However, all that is behind Him now. His right hand is in the bhoomisparsha mudra, which means that He has just attained Buddhahood and as such is calling upon the earth (Bhoomi) with His touch (sparsha) for a witness. Both areas of the composition - robe and bare skin - have the finish of weatherbeaten stone.

It adds to the aura of severe tapa characteristic of the Shakyamuni Buddha. Zoom in on the chest and the slender and skilfully differentiated digits, the gold-bordered robe, and the handsomely sculpted neck and face.

A majestic brow like the soaring albatross, half-shut eyes, and a compassionate mouth. Progressively elongated earlobes adorned with kundalas, a sign of higher-order wisdom. Finally, the mass of curls on His head that gather in a small golden stoopa at the zenith.

The Serene Embrace of Padmasana

This exquisite brass sculpture captures the profound serenity of the Buddha in the Padmasana, or lotus position. This sacred posture, with legs crossed and soles of the feet resting on the thighs, is synonymous with deep meditation and spiritual awakening. It is the very pose Siddhartha Gautama is said to have assumed when he achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, a moment of profound transformation that gave rise to Buddhism. The ancient tales speak of Mara, the demon king, attempting to disrupt Buddha's meditation with temptations and illusions, but the Buddha remained steadfast, his inner peace unshakeable. This sculpture embodies that same unwavering tranquility, offering a visual anchor for your own moments of reflection.

A Legacy of Devotion and Craftsmanship

Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this statue is a testament to the enduring traditions of sacred art. The rich patina of the brass, achieved through time-honored techniques, lends an aura of antiquity and depth, hinting at the countless blessings and prayers it has witnessed. The delicate folds of the robe, the serene expression on the Buddha's face, and the subtle musculature all speak to the skill and devotion of the artisan. In many Buddhist traditions, the creation of such sacred imagery is considered a form of merit-making, a spiritual practice in itself. The brass, a metal often associated with prosperity and purity, further enhances the divine resonance of the piece.

Embodying the Aura of Enlightenment

The posture of Padmasana is not merely physical; it is a symbolic representation of a mind fully settled, free from the distractions of the external world. The hands, often depicted in specific mudras, further convey the Buddha's teachings and state of being. In this sculpture, the hands rest gently in the lap, suggesting a state of profound inner balance and concentration, much like the story of the Buddha meditating through the night before his enlightenment. This piece serves as a powerful reminder of the path to inner peace and the potential for awakening that resides within each of us. Whether placed in a meditation room, a living space, or a place of worship, this Buddha statue invites contemplation and fosters an atmosphere of spiritual calm.

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.
