The Earth-Touching Gesture: A Symbol of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass sculpture captures Lord Buddha in the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture of profound significance in Buddhist tradition. The name translates to "earth-touching gesture," and it symbolizes the moment of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. As Mara, the demon of illusion and desire, attempted to disrupt his meditation, the Buddha remained steadfast. He extended his right hand, palm facing inwards, and touched the earth, calling upon the Earth Goddess, Bhumi, to bear witness to his enlightenment. This act represents his triumph over worldly temptations and his realization of the ultimate truth. The serene expression on the Buddha's face, the tranquil posture, and the finely rendered details imbue this statue with an aura of peace and spiritual authority.

A Tapestry of Auspicious Symbols and Jataka Tales

The ornate decoration on the Buddha's robes is a testament to the rich symbolism and narrative traditions of Buddhism. Intricately rendered auspicious symbols, such as swirling patterns representing the cycle of rebirth and the eight auspicious symbols that signify good fortune, adorn the fabric. More strikingly, the robes are embellished with depictions of Jataka animals. The Jataka tales are a collection of stories recounting the previous lives of the Buddha, illustrating his path to enlightenment through acts of compassion, wisdom, and selflessness. The presence of these animals not only adds a visual richness to the sculpture but also serves as a constant reminder of the Buddha's immense virtues and the spiritual lessons embedded in his past lives. Each animal depicted likely holds a specific meaning within the Jataka cycle, inviting contemplation and deeper understanding.

Crafted by Hand in the Traditional Indian Style

This magnificent Buddha statue is not merely an object of devotion but a piece of art, meticulously handcrafted in India from solid brass. The use of brass, a metal revered for its durability and luster, ensures that this sculpture will endure for generations, its golden patina deepening with age. The traditional Indian craftsmanship, passed down through centuries, is evident in every curve and detail. From the delicate rendering of the Buddha's facial features to the intricate patterns on his robes and the lotus pedestal upon which he sits, each element is shaped with skill and devotion. The lotus, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening, signifies the Buddha's rise above the muddy waters of samsara (the cycle of suffering) to achieve enlightenment. Owning this sculpture is an invitation to bring a piece of India's sacred heritage and profound spiritual wisdom into your own space.

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.
