Hand-Carved Shakyamuni Buddha Oxidized Copper Statue for Devotion
With its deep-toned surface and finely worked details, this Hand-Carved Shakyamuni Buddha Oxidized Copper Statue highlights the understated beauty of traditional Himalayan craftsmanship. Measuring 14.5 cm (5.7 inches) in height with a 10.5 cm (4.1 inches) base and weighing 0.57 kg, it is crafted entirely from an oxidized copper body. The carefully developed finish enhances the sculpted contours, subtle robe folds, and smaller decorative features, creating greater visual depth throughout the compact form. Precise hand-carving, careful modeling, and refined surface treatment demonstrate the patience and skilled workmanship invested in its creation.
Shakyamuni Buddha is portrayed in deep meditation, embodying the qualities of inner peace, unwavering resolve, and awakened wisdom. His right hand forms the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the “earth-touching” gesture that recalls the moment beneath the Bodhi tree when he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment and victory over ignorance. His left hand rests in meditation, symbolizing concentration, balance, and the stillness of the awakened mind. This sacred posture reflects the strength, clarity, and determination required on the path to liberation, serving as a powerful reminder for practitioners to cultivate mindfulness, steadfastness, and the awakening of consciousness.
