Invoking Serenity with the Shakyamuni Buddha 24K Gold Coated Figurine
This Shakyamuni Buddha 24K Gold Coated Figurine measures 9.25”/23.5cm in height and 6.6”/17cm at the base, weighing 1.93 kg. Handcrafted from a copper body, this Himalayan Buddhist sculpture is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, gold and acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. Shakyamuni Buddha is seated in vajra posture upon an intricately decorated lotus pedestal, with a calm expression, gently lowered gaze, elongated earlobes, tightly curled hair, and a clearly defined ushnisha. His monastic robe is rendered in rich red tones with detailed gold borders and ornamental patterns, creating a striking contrast with the luminous gilded areas of the figure. Fine craftsmanship can be seen throughout the facial features, robe folds, hands, lotus petals, and decorative details of the pedestal. Carefully applied gemstones add further detail to selected ornamental areas, while the combination of 24K gold gilding and colorful painting gives the sculpture a refined and distinctive Himalayan appearance.
This statue features Shakyamuni Buddha in the bhumisparsha mudra, with his right hand lowered toward the earth while his left hand rests in his lap holding an alms bowl. The earth-touching gesture recalls the moment of his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, when he called the earth to witness his realization. The alms bowl represents his monastic life, disciplined practice, and reliance on the Dharma rather than worldly possessions. His peaceful expression and meditative posture convey inner stillness, concentration, and awakened awareness. The ushnisha represents his profound spiritual realization, while the elongated earlobes recall his former life of royal privilege and his subsequent renunciation. His monastic robes distinguish him from the richly adorned Bodhisattva forms, emphasizing his role as the historical Buddha and teacher. The lotus pedestal symbolizes purity and liberation, representing awakened wisdom rising above the conditions of ordinary existence.
