This 24K Gold Gilded Copper Statue of Medicine Buddha measures 11.02”/28cm in height and 8.27”/21cm at the base, weighing 3.43 kg.

His monastic robe is carefully arranged across the body with finely carved borders and patterned detailing, while the radiant gilding emphasizes the folds of the robe, facial features, hands, lotus pedestal, and ornamental carvings. The figure sits upon an intricately decorated lotus throne with layered petals and carefully rendered patterns, creating a balanced and dignified composition. The acrylic painting adds subtle definition to the facial features, hair, robe details, and sacred elements, complementing the luminous gold surface. The refined craftsmanship and traditional proportions make this sculpture well suited for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, healing environments, Dharma centers, monasteries, or sacred collections.
This sacred representation portrays Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaishajyaguru, the Buddha traditionally associated with healing, purification, and the alleviation of physical and mental suffering. He is seated in a meditative posture with his left hand resting in the lap in the dhyana mudra, holding the medicine bowl that symbolizes the healing nectar of wisdom and compassion. His right hand extends downward in the varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate giving, and traditionally holds the stem of the medicinal arura plant, representing healing and the remedies that overcome suffering. His serene expression and composed posture convey calmness, clarity, and compassionate awareness, while the monastic robes emphasize his connection with disciplined Buddhist practice. The ushnisha represents awakened wisdom, and the urna signifies heightened spiritual vision. The lotus throne symbolizes purity and the ability to rise above suffering, while the overall form reflects the Buddhist aspiration to overcome illness, affliction, and the mental causes of suffering. As a sacred representation, Medicine Buddha serves as a reminder to cultivate compassion, mindfulness, wisdom, and wholesome conditions that support healing and spiritual practice.

Bhaisajyaguru, known as the Medicine Buddha, is the Buddha of healing and medicine in Mahayana Buddhism. He is traditionally depicted with blue skin, holding a lapis lazuli colored jar of medicinal nectar in his left hand and the Aruna fruit (myrobalan) in his right hand. These attributes symbolize his vow to help all sentient beings suffering from illness and physical pain, as well as mental and spiritual afflictions, emphasizing purification and the elimination of karmic obscurations.
