The Radiant Shakyamuni Buddha 24K Fire Gold Gilded Statue: An Emblem of Profound Serenity
This magnificent Shakyamuni Buddha statue measures 18.11 inches (46 cm) in height, rests upon a 12.6-inch (32 cm) base, and weighs 7.12 kg. The sculpture is traditionally crafted by skilled Nepali artisans using a carefully formed copper body, providing durability, stability, and a refined foundation for the detailed workmanship. Its surface is enriched with 24K fire-gold gilding, producing a deep, radiant golden finish that emphasizes the contours of the body, the flowing monastic robe, and the ornamental pedestal. Delicate acrylic painting defines the Buddha’s eyes, eyebrows, lips, hair, and other facial details, creating a balanced contrast against the luminous gilded surface. With its generous proportions and traditional Himalayan craftsmanship, this statue is an exceptional centerpiece for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, shrine rooms, or spiritual art collections.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated in the full lotus posture upon a beautifully ornamented lotus pedestal. His right hand extends downward over his knee in the bhumisparsha mudra, or earth-touching gesture, recalling the moment the Buddha called the earth to witness his awakening. His left hand rests gently in his lap in the dhyana mudra, the gesture of meditation and inner concentration. A richly patterned monastic robe drapes gracefully across his body, covering the left shoulder while leaving the right shoulder and arm exposed. His face is rendered with lowered eyes, softly defined lips, and a calm expression, reflecting a state of profound meditation. Tightly arranged hair curls frame the prominent ushnisha above his head, while the elongated earlobes remain clearly visible. The layered lotus petals and decorative borders of the pedestal complete the balanced presentation of the seated Buddha.
