This Buddhist Spiritual Icon, the Shakyamuni Buddha Handmade Statue, measures 10.6”/27cm in height and 8.1”/20.5cm at the base, weighing 2.78 kg. Crafted from copper, it is covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding and carved with deeply engraved details that create a magnificent 3D-like effect. Further adorned with gold and acrylic paintings, this piece showcases the skill and dedication of Nepali artisans. Ideal for meditation areas, home altars, or spiritual collections, this representation of the enlightened Buddha brings a sense of peace and wisdom to any space.
Shakyamuni Buddha appears serene and meditative, his half-closed eyes reflecting deep inner calm and awakened awareness. His right hand touches the earth in the bhūmisparśa mudrā, marking the decisive moment he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment. In his left hand, he gently holds an alms bowl, a symbol of renunciation and the humble monastic life. Crowning his head is the uṣṇīṣa, a sign of supreme wisdom, while his hair, styled in snail-like coils, tells the charming tale of snails shielding him from the sun during long meditation. Seated elegantly in the vajra posture atop a moon disc lotus, he embodies stability, purity, and unwavering focus—an artistic tribute to the timeless presence of the enlightened Buddha.

Gautama Buddha, or Shakyamuni Buddha, began life as Siddhartha Gautama, a prince in ancient Nepal who left behind his royal comforts to seek deeper truth. Under the Bodhi tree, he achieved enlightenment. He revealed a path to freedom from suffering. Central to his wisdom are the Four Noble Truths: recognizing suffering, understanding its cause, realizing its end, and following the way to that end. This path is the Noble Eightfold Path—a practical guide to right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration—offering a roadmap to ethical living, mental clarity, and ultimate liberation, known as nirvāṇa.
