Standing 31.5 cm (12.4 inches) tall with a 25 cm (9.8 inches) base and weighing 3.95 kg, it is expertly formed from a solid copper body and richly adorned with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, deeply engraved carvings that create a magnificent 3D-like effect, vibrant acrylic painting, and carefully inlaid gemstones. The harmonious proportions, intricate detailing, and luminous finish highlight the Buddha’s serene expression, meditative posture, and awakened presence. This finely crafted sculpture serves as an exceptional centerpiece for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, temples, or treasured spiritual collections, inspiring contemplation, devotion, and the cultivation of wisdom, compassion, and inner harmony.
Gautama Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated serenely in the traditional vajra posture (Padmasana) upon a beautifully carved lotus throne, symbolizing purity, stability, and the awakened state of mind. His right hand extends downward in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the “earth-touching” gesture, representing the pivotal moment beneath the Bodhi tree when he called upon the earth to witness his enlightenment and unwavering determination to overcome ignorance and illusion. His left hand rests in his lap holding an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation, simplicity, meditation, and the disciplined monastic path. The Buddha is adorned in finely engraved monastic robes, reflecting the humility and wisdom of the historical Buddha while highlighting intricate craftsmanship. His peaceful expression, elongated earlobes, tightly curled hair, and prominent ushnisha faithfully represent traditional Buddhist iconography, symbolizing renunciation, spiritual wisdom, and awakened awareness. The elegantly sculpted lotus pedestal further enhances the sacred presence of the figure, making this statue a profound meditation and devotional focus that inspires practitioners to cultivate mindfulness, inner peace, wisdom, and the path toward enlightenment.
