Shakyamuni Buddha Copper Sculpture - A Richly Patinated Icon of Awakening
The Shakyamuni Buddha Chocolate Oxidized Statue is a dignified portrayal of the Shakya clan sage. This statue stands 11.2 inches tall, and its presence is heightened by the oxidized copper's deep, chocolate patina, which gives it a distinct and earthy appearance. Weighing 3.50 kg, the sculpture carries the weight of the Buddha's legacy, producing a grounded and focused atmosphere in any setting. The use of oxidized copper gives the sculpture a tactile, antique quality, symbolizing the everlasting character of Shakyamuni's teachings and the enduring wisdom that has been passed down through the generations.
Shakyamuni is represented in the typical contemplative pose, with one hand touching the ground (Bhumisparsha mudra), inviting it to witness his profound revelation. This traditional gesture and the serene composure of the Buddha's expression evoke a sense of peace and deep meditation, making this statue an ideal focal point for contemplative practice. The chocolate hue of the oxidation process not only highlights the intricate details of the Buddha's robes and features but also signifies the groundedness and humility of the Awakened One's path.
