Embodying Serenity: Siddhartha Gautama Buddha Sacred Sculpture for Spiritual Harmony
This sacred sculpture of Siddhartha Gautama measures 8.86 inches (22.5 cm) in height, spans a 6.89-inch (17.5 cm) base, and weighs 1.49 kg. Skilled Nepali artisans handcrafted the figure from a copper body before enriching its surface with radiant 24K gold gilding and carefully applied acrylic painting. The finish brings definition to the Buddha’s peaceful countenance, monastic robes, symbolic gestures, and sculpted lotus pedestal. Compact yet visually refined, it can serve as a meaningful focal point for a personal altar, meditation room, study area, or collection of Himalayan Buddhist art.
Siddhartha Gautama is portrayed after attaining awakening and becoming Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical teacher of Buddhism. Seated in the vajra posture, his right hand forms the Bhumisparsha Mudra, recalling the moment he called the earth to witness his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. His left hand rests in meditative equipoise and traditionally supports an alms bowl, expressing renunciationunciation and freedom from attachment. The gently lowered eyes convey inner stillness, while the ushnisha represents awakened wisdom. Together, these features make the sculpture a reminder of the path from worldly uncertainty toward compassion, insight, and liberation.
