Traditionally Crafted Mini Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha
This mini statue of Shakyamuni Buddha was sculpted by a machine on a copper body and then gilded face with 24k genuine gold. The statue depicts the moment the earth was called to witness his enlightenment by slightly touching the ground with his right middle finger. In response to the calling, the ground shook and trembled to acknowledge Shakyamuni’s attainment of Buddhahood. His left-hand rests upon his lap, where he holds up an alms bowl during his meditation.

Siddhartha Gautama was born the crown prince of the powerful Shakya Kingdom and raised to be a monarch following his royal father's wishes. He heard about people's enormous anguish in life when he was approximately 29 years old. He gave up his palace life and all of his opulent robes and wealth to figure out what was causing the pain and how to relieve it. He reached his goal after nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and intense focus. He'd reached nirvana (a Buddha). He then claimed to have gone to a deer park on the outskirts of Varanasi, India's Sarnath (Benares).
