Shakyamuni Buddha: Embodiment of Enlightened Peace
This Shakyamuni Buddha Statue measures 18.1 inches (46 cm) in height, rests upon a 13.2-inch (33.5 cm) base, and weighs 8.7 kg. Handcrafted from a copper body, the sculpture is enriched with radiant 24K gold gilding and carefully applied acrylic painting. The luminous finish accentuates the Buddha’s tranquil facial expression, monastic robes, graceful hands, and sculpted lotus pedestal. Fine detailing throughout the figure reflects the skill of traditional metal artisans, while its substantial proportions create a dignified presence suited to a Buddhist altar, meditation room, Dharma center, or sacred art collection.
Shakyamuni Buddha is traditionally portrayed seated in the vajra posture, representing unwavering concentration and inner stability. His right hand reaches toward the earth in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, recalling the moment he called the earth to witness his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. His left hand rests in meditative equipoise and commonly supports an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation, discipline, and freedom from attachment. The ushnisha above his head signifies awakened wisdom, while his elongated earlobes recall the princely ornaments he relinquished in pursuit of liberation. His lowered eyes and peaceful expression convey profound meditation, offering a visual reminder of the path toward wisdom, compassion, and freedom from suffering.
