A superb Buddha sculpture. Standalone, because it is a simple seated figure without pedestal or aureole. For devotees with a simple, almost rudimentary, taste in art. As such, a few aspects of the Buddha murti that you see on this page slightly deviates from your run-of-the-mill Buddhist iconography. Note the padmasana of the contemplative monk - while in most sculptures the heels meet at a point directly below the navel, the heels on this one are farther apart at a lateral distance from the midline.

The right hand of the Buddha is in bhoomisparsha mudra. This stance (‘mudra’) of the hand is found in many traditional iconographies and is indicative of the moment He transitions into Enlightenment, upon which He calls upon Mother Earth (‘bhoomi’) with a gentle touch (‘sparsha’) to witness it. The left hand rests afore a stately torso, which make for the usual contemplative stance of higher-order yogis. A long neck engraved with the same curves as on the body of a conch and a composure of absolute, seedless (nirbeeja) samadhi (yogic contemplation).

The hair of the Buddha and the robe He is wearing have been executed with dense engravings. It is a flowing one-shouldered robe embroidered with vine and ashtamangala that clings to the sharp, narrow undulations of the Buddha’s princely form. In fact, this is the most strikingly lifelike aspect of the composition - note the way the fabric falls around the left forearm and spreads out beneath the padmasana limbs.

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.
