The Gesture of Teaching and Discussion

This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Buddha in the Vitark Mudra, a gesture deeply symbolic within Buddhist traditions. The right hand is raised to shoulder height, palm facing outwards, with the thumb and index finger forming a circle. This mudra, meaning "gesture of debate" or "teaching," signifies the dissemination of Dharma, the Buddha's teachings, and the assurance of protection. It evokes the moments when the Buddha would expound his wisdom, his voice calm and clear, guiding his disciples through the complexities of the spiritual path. In ancient Indian lore, this gesture is often associated with imparting knowledge and dispelling doubts, much like the sage Vyasa who compiled the Vedas, or Krishna sharing the Bhagavad Gita with Arjuna. ––––––––––

A Masterpiece of Indian Craftsmanship

Handmade in India, this statue is a testament to the enduring legacy of Indian artistry. The skilled artisans have meticulously crafted the figure from brass, a metal revered for its durability and ability to hold intricate detail. The rich, warm patina of the brass lends a timeless quality to the sculpture, suggesting generations of devotion. The elaborate detailing on the Buddha's robes, adorned with swirling patterns and subtle motifs, showcases a high level of craftsmanship. Even the base on which the Buddha sits is richly decorated, featuring a band of floral motifs and small figures, adding to the overall grandeur of the piece. This level of detail is characteristic of traditional Indian metalwork, which often draws inspiration from ancient narratives and religious iconography. ––––––––––

Embodying Serenity and Enlightenment

The serene expression on the Buddha's face, with eyes gently closed or cast downwards in contemplation, radiates a profound sense of peace and inner stillness. This posture, with legs crossed in the lotus position, further emphasizes the balanced and tranquil state of enlightenment. The Vitark Mudra, in conjunction with this posture, creates a powerful visual representation of wisdom being shared with compassion. It is believed that the Buddha, after achieving enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, spent many weeks in contemplation and then began his journey of teaching, sharing the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. This statue captures the essence of those transformative moments, offering a tangible connection to the spiritual journey of awakening. Placing this statue in your home or meditation space can serve as a constant reminder to cultivate inner peace, seek wisdom, and approach life's challenges with clarity and understanding.

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.
