Buddhist Enlightenment Symbol Gautama Buddha | Handcrafted Sculpture
This Buddhist Enlightenment Symbol, a Gautama Buddha statue, stands at 13”/33cm in height and 10.2”/26cm at the base, with a weight of 4.16 kg. Crafted from an oxidized copper body and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture is handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a calm, meditative state with half-closed eyes, embodying profound inner peace and an awakened presence. His right hand is in the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), signifying the moment he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment. His left hand holds an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation and the simplicity of the monastic path. Atop his head rests the usnisa, representing supreme wisdom, while his hair is styled in snail-like coils, referencing the well-known story of snails protecting him from the sun during prolonged meditation. He sits gracefully in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus base, conveying stability, spiritual purity, and unwavering focus. This refined iconography honors the profound presence of the historical Buddha—serene, dignified, and deeply symbolic.
