Shakyamuni Buddha Sculpture - The Emblem of Serene Enlightenment
This Shakyamuni Buddha Sculpture measures 9.45”/24cm in height with a 7.09”/18cm base and weighs 2.15 kg. Handcrafted in Nepal from an oxidized copper body, the sculpture combines 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and silver-plated accents to create a refined contrast across the carefully worked surface. The darkened copper finish adds depth, while the gilded and silver details highlight the craftsmanship and precision of skilled Nepalese artisans. Spiritually, the figure represents the historical Buddha and the path of awakening through meditation, wisdom, ethical discipline, and liberation from suffering.
This Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated in the full vajra posture upon a lotus throne, with one hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra, the earth-touching gesture representing the moment of his enlightenment when the earth bore witness to his awakening. His other hand rests in dhyana mudra in his lap, holding an alms bowl that represents meditation, renunciation, and the purity of the monastic path. His serene expression, gently lowered eyes, elongated earlobes, tightly curled hair, and prominent ushnisha are traditional marks of an enlightened Buddha. He wears simple monastic robes draped naturally around the body, emphasizing spiritual discipline and renunciation, while the lotus throne symbolizes purity, liberation, and the unfolding of awakened wisdom.
