A handmade 24k gold glided Crown Shakyamuni Buddha Statue for Elevated Practice
This Handmade 24K Gold Gilded Crown Shakyamuni Buddha Statue measures 22”/56cm in height with a 17”/43cm base and weighs 12.9 kg. Meticulously handcrafted from a copper body, this impressive sculpture is adorned with gold and acrylic painting and enriched with carefully hand-carved gemstones. The elaborate crown, jewelry, lotus throne, and surrounding ornamental frame are richly detailed with traditional Himalayan motifs, while the painted facial features and garments add depth and definition to the luminous gold surface. The extensive use of carved ornamentation throughout the figure and pedestal demonstrates the detailed craftsmanship of the sculpture, while its substantial scale gives it a commanding presence for Buddhist altars, meditation halls, monasteries, temples, Dharma centers, or distinguished sacred art collections.
The sculpture depicts Shakyamuni Buddha seated peacefully upon a richly carved lotus throne, presented in a crowned and ornamented form. Unlike the simple monastic representation commonly associated with the historical Buddha, this form is portrayed wearing an elaborate jeweled crown, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and other ornaments, with a richly decorated garment covering the body. His calm expression, gently lowered eyes, elongated earlobes, and composed seated posture convey a sense of contemplation and awakened awareness. His hands are held in a meditative gesture at the center of his body, while the surrounding decorative frame rises behind him in an elaborate symmetrical design. Hand-carved gemstones are incorporated throughout the crown, jewelry, aureole, and ornamental elements, adding intricate color and detail to the composition. The layered lotus pedestal is extensively carved with repeating petals and decorative patterns, completing the majestic presentation of Shakyamuni Buddha.
