Handmade 17.7 Inch Shakyamuni Buddha Statue
This Shakyamuni Buddha statue measures 17.7”/45cm in height and 13”/33cm at the base, weighing 8.39 kg. It is expertly handcrafted from a copper body, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect, and enhanced with delicate gold and acrylic paintings and hand-carved gemstones. Designed by skilled Nepali artisans, this piece reflects traditional craftsmanship and is perfect for altars, meditation areas, or as a meaningful spiritual decor item.
Iconography: The Buddha is depicted in the serene padmasana (lotus) posture, symbolizing stability, meditation, and spiritual balance. His right hand rests on his knee in bhumisparsha mudra, the “earth-touching” gesture that signifies the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha called the Earth to witness his awakening. The left hand holds an alms bowl, representing renunciation, compassion, and the acceptance of the gifts of life. The ushnisha atop his head symbolizes his supreme wisdom, while the elongated earlobes reflect his past as a prince who wore heavy jewelry, now renounced, indicating his detachment from worldly attachments. The lotus base signifies purity, spiritual elevation, and the unfolding of enlightenment. At the back of the lotus base, a finely hand-carved Buddhist mantra adds spiritual resonance, enhancing the meditative and devotional presence of the statue.
