Himalayan Buddhist Copper Sculpture | Enlightenment Figurine for Shrine & Meditation
Measuring around 12.2 inches tall, this traditional Shakyamuni Buddha figurine is crafted from copper and finished with radiant 24K gold gilding, complemented by delicate gold and acrylic paint accents. Created by talented Nepali artisans from the Shakya clan, who carry a rich legacy of metalworking, the statue portrays the Buddha in a serene meditative stance. His right hand touches the earth, symbolizing his enlightenment, while his left hand rests peacefully in his lap, inviting calm and mindful reflection.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated in padmasana (lotus posture) upon a finely detailed lotus base, a symbol of purity and enlightenment. His right hand touches the earth in bhumisparsha mudra, the gesture of calling the world to witness his awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. His left hand rests in his lap, holding an alms bowl, signifying renunciation, simplicity, and the nourishment of wisdom. The serene presence of this statue reflects the moment of enlightenment and the eternal transmission of Dharma.

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha or Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born a prince in the sixth century BCE in what is now Nepal, he abandoned his royal existence in search of a solution to human misery. After years of spiritual effort and deep meditation, he achieved enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. He was then referred to as Shakyamuni, which means "Sage of the Shakya Clan."
