Shakyamuni Buddha: An Embodiment of Profound Peace
This Shakyamuni Buddha on Throne Statue for Meditation Practice measures 19.29”/49cm in height with an 11.81”/30cm base and weighs 3.69 kg. Crafted by skilled Nepali artisans, this sculpture features a copper body richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. The gold gilding enhances the finely engraved details across the Buddha’s robes, throne, ornamental elements, and surrounding decorative work, while the acrylic painting adds refined color to the facial features, hair, garments, and other details. Gemstone embellishments provide additional accents throughout the sculpture, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and traditional Himalayan metalwork. Its elegant proportions and detailed finish make this statue suitable for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, Dharma centers, or spiritual collections.
The sculpture depicts Shakyamuni Buddha seated peacefully upon an elaborate throne in a composed meditation posture. His right hand rests downward in Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture, while his left hand rests in his lap. His serene expression, half-closed eyes, elongated earlobes, tightly curled hair, and rounded ushnisha reflect the traditional appearance of the historical Buddha. He wears a simple monastic robe with carefully carved folds, while the richly decorated throne features intricate patterns and ornamental details surrounding the seated figure. The combination of the calm posture, earth-touching gesture, detailed robe, and elaborate throne creates a dignified representation of Shakyamuni Buddha for meditation practice.
