Dipankara Buddha Copper Sculpture - An Icon of Foresight and Enlightenment
Presenting the Dipankara "Lamp Bearer" Statue, a respectful representation of the Buddha who heralded the arrival of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni. This statue is 9.4 inches tall and made of oxidized copper, giving the figure an ancient, ageless appearance. Weighing 1.02 kg, it reflects the light-bearing Dipankara while maintaining stability and presence. The oxidized finish highlights the sculpture's depth and features, creating a visual image of old wisdom and the enduring light of guidance.
Dipankara is widely regarded for predicting the enlightenment of Shakyamuni, the future Buddha. He is depicted in a calm posture, frequently with his hands in a gesture that represents starting the wheel of Dharma in motion, or in dharmachakra mudra. This figure serves not just as a piece of spiritual decor but as a symbol of the light that guides beings on the path toward awakening and the interconnected lineage of the Buddhas.
