Shakyamuni Buddha Sacred Sculpture | An Emblem of Profound Peace
Distinguished by its balanced proportions and refined surface finish, this Shakyamuni Buddha Sacred Sculpture measures 14.5”/37cm in height with a 10.6”/27cm base and weighs a substantial 5.59 kg, giving it a dignified and well-grounded presence. Handcrafted in Nepal from a carefully sculpted copper body, the piece is enriched with luminous 24K gold gilding that lends warmth, brilliance, and a luxurious character to the surface. Precise acrylic painting defines the finer contours and enhances the depth of the craftsmanship, while meticulous polishing creates a cohesive and elegant finish. Its considerable weight, detailed metalwork, harmonious form, and carefully applied decoration reflect the patience and accomplished artistry of traditional Nepalese artisans.
The historical Buddha and founder of Buddhist teachings represents wisdom, compassion, mindfulness, and liberation from suffering. His sacred form reflects the journey of awakening through meditation, discipline, and profound realization of the nature of existence. He is depicted seated in the vajra posture (lotus posture), symbolizing unwavering stability, deep meditation, and awakened awareness. His right hand forms the Bhumisparsha Mudra (earth-touching gesture), representing the moment beneath the Bodhi tree when he attained enlightenment and called the Earth to witness his awakening and triumph over ignorance and delusion, while his left hand rests in the Dhyana Mudra, symbolizing concentration, inner peace, and meditative absorption. His serene expression, ushnisha, urna, elongated earlobes, and monastic robes reflect the traditional marks of an awakened being. This sacred representation inspires practitioners to cultivate wisdom, compassion, mindfulness, and the path toward complete liberation.
