A Symbol of Enlightenment and Protection

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene presence of Lord Buddha in the Vitark Mudra, a gesture deeply significant in Buddhist iconography. The Vitark Mudra, with the thumb and index finger touching and the palm facing outward, represents the imparting of wisdom, the teaching of the Dharma, and the dispelling of doubt. It is a gesture of debate and argument, but also of reassurance and the transmission of spiritual knowledge. In Buddhist lore, it is said that when the Buddha first began to teach after his enlightenment, he adopted this mudra, signifying the beginning of his public ministry and the sharing of his profound insights.

The Craftsmanship of Tradition

Handmade in India, this statue is a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional brass craftsmanship. The skilled artisans have meticulously shaped the brass, imbuing the figure with a lifelike quality and spiritual aura. The details, from the intricate patterns on the robe and the lotus-like ornamentation on the ears to the subtle contours of the face, reflect a deep understanding and reverence for Buddhist art. The warm, lustrous sheen of the brass enhances the divine beauty of the Buddha, making it a captivating centerpiece for any sacred space or personal altar. The material itself, brass, has been historically significant in the creation of religious idols across various cultures, valued for its durability and its ability to hold intricate carvings.

Embodying the Path to Inner Peace

The Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama, renounced a life of luxury to seek the truth of existence and alleviate suffering. His teachings, the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, form the foundation of Buddhism, guiding followers towards enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The Vitark Mudra, as depicted in this statue, embodies this spirit of guidance and the power of reasoned discourse and compassionate understanding that characterized the Buddha's interactions with his disciples and the wider world. Imagine him, as he was in life, surrounded by seekers of truth, his hand raised in this gesture, offering clarity and direction. The gentle inclination of his head and the closed eyes suggest a deep inner contemplation, a state of profound peace and wisdom that radiates outwards. This statue serves as a constant reminder of the path to inner peace and the potential for awakening within each individual. It is more than just an object of art; it is a conduit to a spiritual practice, inviting contemplation and reflection on the Buddha's timeless message of compassion, mindfulness, and detachment.

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.
