The Traditional Gautama Buddha Sculpture | Historical Buddha
The traditional Gautama Buddha Sculpture, measuring 12.2”/31cm in height and 9.6”/24.5cm at the base, weighs 3.69 kg. It is handcrafted from copper and adorned with triple layer 24K gold gilding and detailed gold and acrylic paintings. Representing the historical Buddha, this statue embodies wisdom, enlightenment, and inner peace, making it an ideal centerpiece for any altar, meditation room, or sacred 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 powerful 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 usnisa, a sign of supreme wisdom, while his hair curls in snail-like spirals—a nod to the tale of snails shielding him from the sun during long meditation. Seated gracefully in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus, he embodies stability, purity, and focused devotion. This statue beautifully captures the dignified and profound spirit of the historical Buddha.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, born as Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and shared the path to liberation from suffering. At the core of his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path leading to its cessation. This path is known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—a guide to ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom that leads to the end of suffering and ultimate freedom.
