Shakyamuni Buddha with Crown Sculpture stands at an impressive 36.2 inches (92 cm) in height, with a base measuring 25.2 inches (64 cm), making it a commanding and sacred presence for any space. Weighing 38.69 kilograms, the statue is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with hand-carved gemstones and handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
The Buddha is depicted seated in the lotus position (padmasana), symbolizing meditation and spiritual awakening. His right hand touches the earth, a gesture known as bhumisparsha mudra (“earth-touching gesture”). This represents the moment of his enlightenment, when he called the earth to witness his victory over Mara (the tempter). His left hand rests on his lap, palm upward, in the gesture of meditation (dhyana mudra), with the alms Bowl, symbolizing inner concentration and spiritual balance. Shakyamuni is dressed in simple monastic robes, signifying renunciation, humility, and detachment from worldly life. He sits atop a double lotus pedestal, representing purity and the Buddha’s transcendence over the material world. Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted wearing an elaborate five-pointed crown and wide necklaces adorned with numerous gemstones, reflecting his royal symbolism and spiritual authority. The five points of the crown represent the Five Dhyani Buddhas—Vairocana, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, and Amoghasiddhi—each embodying a unique aspect of enlightened wisdom.
