Shakyamuni Buddha 24K Gold-Coated Statue for Spiritual Awakening
This Shakyamuni Buddha Statue showcases the refined craftsmanship of traditional Himalayan Buddhist sculpture, combining detailed copper work with elaborate surface finishing. Measuring 30 cm (11.8 inches) in height with a 22 cm (8.7 inches) base and weighing 3.09 kg, it features a copper body enhanced with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding and deeply engraved carvings that create a magnificent 3D-like effect, complemented by detailed acrylic painting and carefully set gemstones. The radiant gold surface highlights the finely modeled contours and intricate patterns, while the painted details and gemstone embellishments add depth and visual richness. The combination of engraving, gilding, painting, and gemstone setting reflects the precision, patience, and skilled craftsmanship invested in creating this sacred sculpture.
The sculpture portrays Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha and originator of the Dharma teachings, seated in serene meditation upon a lotus pedestal. His right hand descends in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the “earth-touching” gesture that marks the decisive moment of his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, when he called the Earth to witness his awakening and unwavering resolve. His left hand rests in his lap holding the alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation, monastic discipline, and the simplicity of the spiritual path. The Buddha’s calm expression, tightly curled hair, elongated earlobes, and flowing monastic robes follow established Himalayan Buddhist iconography, each detail reinforcing qualities of wisdom, restraint, and inner peace. The balanced seated posture and refined sculptural treatment give the figure a composed, contemplative presence, making it a dignified representation of awakening, spiritual clarity, and the path to liberation.

Shakyamuni Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical Buddha whose life and teachings form the foundation of Buddhism. Born into a princely family, he later renounced his privileged life after recognizing the realities of aging, illness, and death. Following years of spiritual practice and meditation, he attained enlightenment and became known as the Buddha, or “Awakened One.” He spent the remainder of his life teaching the Dharma, showing a path beyond suffering through wisdom, ethical conduct, compassion, and meditation. His teachings, including the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, continue to guide practitioners toward liberation and awakening.
