The Auspicious Gesture of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Buddha in the act of preaching the Dharma, a moment of profound spiritual significance. With eyes gently closed, a serene smile gracing his lips, and his right hand raised in the Abhaya Mudra – the gesture of fearlessness and protection – this piece captures the tranquil essence of the Awakened One. The intricate detailing extends to his curled hair, the subtle urna mark on his forehead, and the elongated earlobes, all hallmarks of Buddha iconography, symbolizing his renunciation of worldly adornments for spiritual pursuit. The robe, draped elegantly across his body, is adorned with vibrant inlays of turquoise, coral, and lapis lazuli, meticulously set into the brass. These precious stones are not merely decorative; they are imbued with symbolic meaning in Buddhist traditions, often representing the five wisdoms and the boundless qualities of the enlightened mind.

A Masterpiece of Indian Craftsmanship

Handmade in India, this statue is a testament to the nation's rich artistic heritage and the enduring devotion to Buddhist principles. The skilled artisans have combined traditional metalworking techniques with the art of stone inlay, creating a piece that is both visually stunning and spiritually resonant. The gleaming brass provides a rich, lustrous base for the colorful tessellations, each stone carefully selected and placed to create a harmonious and captivating composition. The robe's design, with its alternating patterns of geometric motifs and floral rosettes, evokes the intricate textiles and decorative arts prevalent in India for centuries. This craftsmanship ensures that each statue possesses a unique character, a reflection of the individual artist's touch.

The Dharma and its Dissemination

The act of preaching the Dharma, as depicted in this sculpture, is central to Buddhism. It signifies the Buddha's compassion in sharing his profound insights into the nature of suffering and the path to liberation. The Dharma, meaning "cosmic law and order" or "Buddha's teachings," encompasses the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the principles of karma and rebirth. Buddha's first sermon, delivered in the Deer Park at Sarnath, is often visualized in this posture, marking the turning of the Wheel of Dharma. This statue serves as a powerful reminder of the Buddha's mission to guide beings towards enlightenment and inner peace, a message that continues to resonate across cultures and time. The presence of this statue in a home or meditation space can serve as a constant inspiration to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom.

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.
