Handcrafted Serene Crown Shakyamuni Buddha Statue | Founder of Buddhism
This Serene Crown Shakyamuni Buddha statue measures 32.7”/83cm in height and 19.7”/50cm at the base and weighs 23.96 kg. It is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with hand-carved gemstones, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a serene meditative state, with half-closed eyes reflecting profound inner peace and awakened awareness. His right hand forms the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), commemorating the moment he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. In his left hand rests an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation and the simplicity of the monastic life. He wears an elegant five-pointed crown with hand-carved gemstones, representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas and their transcendent wisdom. A matching gemstone-embellished necklace further enhances his regal yet serene presence. Atop his head sits the uṣṇīṣa, a mark of supreme wisdom, with his hair styled in traditional snail-like coils—an homage to the tale of snails shielding him during deep meditation. He radiates spiritual purity, stability, and enlightenment in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus base. This exquisite iconography honors the historical Buddha with grace, dignity, and sacred symbolism.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, born as Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and shared the path to liberation from suffering. At the core of his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering (duḥkha), its origin (samudaya), its cessation (nirodha), and the path leading to its cessation (mārga). This path is known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—a guide to ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom that leads to the end of suffering and ultimate freedom (nirvāṇa).
