Shakyamuni Buddha Oxidized Statue | Traditional Figurine of Meditation and Enlightenment
This Shakyamuni Buddha Peaceful Dharma Teacher Statue measures 13.4”/34cm in height with a 9.4”/24cm base and weighs 3.35 kg. Crafted by skilled Nepali artisans, this sculpture features an oxidized copper body that enhances the depth and texture of the traditional metalwork. The darkened copper surface highlights the finely carved details across the Buddha’s robes, facial features, lotus pedestal, and decorative elements, creating an elegant antique appearance. The carefully refined craftsmanship and balanced composition make this statue suitable for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, Dharma centers, monasteries, or spiritual collections.
Shakyamuni Buddha is traditionally depicted seated in the vajra posture (padmasana), with his right hand lowered in the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra), symbolizing the moment of enlightenment when the earth was called to witness his awakening. His left hand rests in his lap in dhyana mudra, supporting an alms bowl that represents renunciation and the nourishment of the Dharma. He has a serene expression, half-closed eyes, elongated earlobes, curled hair, and a prominent ushnisha symbolizing awakened wisdom. The sculpture is richly adorned with finely engraved patterns across the robes, lotus throne, and decorative elements. In contrast, the detailed carving of the lotus petals and ornamental borders adds depth and definition to the surface. The radiant 24K gold gilding further highlights the carefully crafted details and traditional Himalayan metalwork.

Shakyamuni Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. He lived in ancient India (present-day Nepal) around the 6th to 4th centuries BCE. Through intense meditation and self-discovery, he achieved complete enlightenment and spent the remainder of his life teaching the Dharma, the path to liberation from suffering. His teachings emphasize compassion, wisdom, and the practice of the Middle Way.
