FREE Delivery

Gautama Buddha is the founder of Buddhism and he in his journey towards enlightenment preached his disciples of living a life free of material desires and riches. The word Buddha means ‘enlightened’, therefore he was considered to be an extraordinary man and not a god who by his meditation and wisdom taught the four noble truths, which are said to be essential to understand dharma. He sits here in his popular lotus posture; left hand holds the begging bowl that identifies him as the head of the order and right is held in Vitarka mudra with thumb and index finger joined together symbolizing transmission of dharma. He is carved in his usual iconography of long earlobes, conch lines on the neck, wavy dot on the forehead (third eye of wisdom) and the perfectly coiled short hairs.

Apart from it having a finite iconography, the sculptor has very precisely carved the sleek and pointed nose, minutely curved lips to form a smile, high brows and the deeply chiselled eyes, closed in his Dhyana. The most eye catchy feature is the robe that covers this divine philosopher’s body in a sober manner; decorated beautifully with multicolored beads of reconstituted stones, forming an alluring double layered dark blue border followed by alternate colored red and blue beads arranged vertically in dual parallel stripes. These stripes are separated by thin layers of silver and copper stones placed in a wavy shape. The large silver flower patch on both the knees reflects the carver’s creativity and perfectionism.




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.
