Himalayan Sacred Figurine of Shakyamuni Buddha: An Emblem of Enlightened Peace
This Himalayan Sacred Figurine of Shakyamuni Buddha measures 8.26 inches (21 cm) in height with a 5.90-inch (15 cm) base and weighs 1.32 kg. Handcrafted by skilled Nepali artisans, the figurine is formed from a copper body and covered with luminous 24K gold gilding. Detailed acrylic painting gives clarity to the facial features and robes, while carefully placed gemstones enrich selected ornamental areas with subtle color. Its compact scale and refined finish make it suitable for a personal altar, meditation corner, shrine room, or spiritual art collection.
Shakyamuni Buddha is portrayed seated in the vajra posture upon a lotus pedestal and dressed in traditional monastic robes. His right hand extends downward in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, recalling the moment he called the earth to witness his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. His left hand rests in his lap in meditative equipoise and supports an alms bowl, reflecting renunciation and disciplined practice. The gently lowered eyes, elongated earlobes, ushnisha, and composed expression communicate profound concentration and inner peace. As the historical Buddha, his form offers a meaningful reminder of wisdom, ethical conduct, meditation, and liberation from suffering.
