Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama was his birth name, but he earned the title Shakyamuni only after awakening as the Buddha, which means "awakened one" in Sanskrit. In this sculpture, he holds an alms bowl in his left hand, brimming with three sacred nectars. These represent his triumph over the three formidable foes: untimely death, the tainted nature of existence, and the fog of delusion. This piece tells the story of enlightenment through its rich symbolism and golden glow.
