The Gesture of Teaching and Discussion

This magnificent brass statue captures Lord Buddha in the Vitarka Mudra, a powerful gesture signifying the transmission of teachings, the discussion of the Dharma, and the overcoming of doubt. The right hand is raised, palm facing outwards, with the thumb and index finger forming a circle. This gesture is believed to symbolize the wheel of the Dharma, the eternal teachings of the Buddha. In Buddhist lore, it is said that Buddha often employed this mudra when engaged in debate or when expounding his profound wisdom, inviting understanding and intellectual engagement. It is a visual representation of the moment of enlightened discourse, where knowledge is shared and minds are opened.

A Masterpiece of Indian Craftsmanship

Handmade with meticulous care in India, this statue is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the subcontinent. Crafted from high-quality brass, the material itself evokes a sense of timelessness and spiritual significance. The intricate details of the Buddha's serene expression, the curls of his ushnisha (the cranial protuberance signifying wisdom), and the delicate folds of his monastic robe are all rendered with exceptional skill. The statue is further adorned with vibrant inlay work, featuring a dazzling arrangement of stones. The rich green of the stones evokes the lushness of nature and the growth of spiritual understanding, while the fiery red hues symbolize passion, vitality, and the overcoming of earthly desires. The surrounding blue stones often represent the vastness of the sky and the infinite nature of the cosmos, or the profound depths of meditation.

Symbolism and Spiritual Resonance

The Vitarka Mudra is not merely an artistic pose; it is a potent symbol within Buddhist iconography. It represents the dissemination of Buddha’s wisdom and the encouragement of intellectual inquiry. Imagine the Buddha, in ancient times, seated beneath the Bodhi tree, or teaching his disciples, his hand held in this very gesture, conveying truths that would illuminate the path to liberation. This statue serves as a constant reminder of the importance of listening, understanding, and engaging with profound knowledge. It is an invitation to contemplate the teachings and to seek your own path towards enlightenment. The presence of this statue in your home or meditation space can foster an atmosphere of peace, wisdom, and spiritual growth.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
