Meticulously handcrafted in Nepal, this magnificent sculpture stands 51.5 cm (20.3 inches) in height with a 36 cm (14.2 inches) base and weighs 9.7 kg. Expertly formed from a solid copper body, it is richly adorned with gold and acrylic painting and enhanced with hand-set gemstones, reflecting the exceptional skill of master Himalayan artisans.

Shakyamuni Buddha is traditionally depicted seated in the vajra posture (padmasana) upon a beautifully crafted lotus throne, symbolizing the purity and stability of enlightened realization. His right hand is extended in the bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), calling the earth to witness his enlightenment, while his left hand rests in dhyana mudra, holding an alms bowl that signifies renunciation, meditation, and the path to liberation. He wears the simple monastic robes of a fully ordained monk, emphasizing humility and detachment from worldly desires. His head is adorned with the ushnisha, symbolizing supreme wisdom, while the urna between his brows represents spiritual insight. His elongated earlobes recall his princely past and his renunciation of material wealth. The luminous gold and acrylic painting, together with the finely inlaid gemstones, beautifully enhance every sacred feature, highlighting the timeless iconography of Shakyamuni Buddha while showcasing the extraordinary craftsmanship of Nepalese artisans.
