Embodying Peace with the Historical Buddha Shakyamuni Hand Carved Sculpture
This Historical Buddha Shakyamuni Hand Carved Sculpture in 24K Gold measures 13.6”/34.5cm in height with a 9.8”/25cm base and weighs 3.72 kg. Crafted by skilled Nepali artisans, the sculpture features a copper body richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. The gold gilding highlights the deeply engraved and hand-carved details across the figure, crown-like ushnisha, robes, lotus pedestal, and decorative elements, while the acrylic painting adds carefully applied color to the facial features, garments, and ornamental details. The gemstones provide additional accents that enrich the overall presentation, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional Himalayan Buddhist metalwork. This statue is suitable for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, Dharma centers, monasteries, or spiritual art collections.
The sculpture depicts Shakyamuni Buddha seated in a calm meditative posture upon an intricately carved lotus pedestal, with his right hand lowered in Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture, while his left hand rests in his lap. His peaceful facial expression is framed by carefully arranged hair and a rounded ushnisha, while his simple monastic robes fall naturally around the body. The detailed folds of the robe, elongated ears, balanced posture, serene expression, and richly carved lotus throne create a traditional representation of the historical Buddha. The carefully placed gemstones and painted details further enhance the refined appearance of the handcrafted sculpture.

Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of the Buddhist tradition, was born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama in Lumbini. After witnessing the nature of human suffering, he renounced his royal life to seek a solution to the cycle of rebirth. Through years of disciplined meditation and introspection, he attained full awakening under the Bodhi tree, thereafter sharing the Middle Way and the Four Noble Truths to guide sentient beings toward liberation and compassion.
