The Earth-Touching Gesture: A Symbol of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Buddha in the Bhumisparsha mudra, commonly known as the earth-touching gesture. This powerful posture signifies the moment of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Legend tells that as Prince Siddhartha meditated, he was tempted by Mara, the demon of illusion, who sought to disturb his path to awakening. Buddha, unmoved, extended his right hand to touch the Earth, calling upon Mother Earth as his witness to his purity and his right to attain enlightenment. The Earth itself is said to have responded, shaking with the power of his virtue. This gesture embodies unwavering resolve, truth, and the ultimate triumph over ignorance and desire.

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

Handmade in India, this statue is a testament to the skill and devotion of Indian artisans. The rich patina of the brass, enhanced by a subtle reddish hue, lends a sense of ancient wisdom and serene presence. Intricate detailing adorns Buddha's monastic robe, featuring delicate patterns that speak of meticulous craftsmanship. The serene countenance, with eyes gently closed in deep meditation, radiates peace and compassion. The figure is seated in the traditional lotus position, further emphasizing his spiritual discipline and inner stillness. The elaborate, multi-tiered wooden base, painted in vibrant blues, reds, and gold, elevates the divine figure, adding a regal and symbolic flourish.

Cultural Significance and Artistic Legacy

Tibetan Buddhism, in particular, places great emphasis on the symbolism of the Bhumisparsha mudra. It is a cornerstone in the iconography of various Buddhist traditions, representing the culmination of Buddha's spiritual journey and his profound understanding of the nature of reality. This statue serves not merely as an object of art but as a focal point for meditation and contemplation, inviting practitioners to connect with the essence of Buddhist teachings. The combination of brass and wood in its construction reflects a harmonious blend of materials often found in traditional sacred objects, each chosen for its durability and symbolic resonance. This piece is an embodiment of both artistic excellence and spiritual depth, bringing a piece of India's rich cultural heritage into your 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.
