The Call to Earth: A Reverent Depiction of Buddha's Enlightenment

This exquisite statue captures a pivotal moment in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the Shakyamuni Buddha, as he achieves enlightenment. Seated in serene meditation, his right hand rests gracefully upon his knee, fingers pointing downwards, gently touching the earth. This gesture, known as the Bhumisparsha Mudra, signifies the moment the Buddha called upon the earth goddess, Sthavara, as his witness to overcome the temptations of Mara, the demon who sought to disrupt his path to awakening. It is a profound symbol of his unwavering resolve, his connection to the terrestrial realm, and his ultimate victory over earthly desires and distractions.

Craftsmanship and Symbolism in Brass and Inlay

Handcrafted in India with meticulous attention to detail, this impressive sculpture is rendered in robust brass, a material associated with durability and auspiciousness in many cultures. The rich golden sheen of the brass highlights the serene countenance of the Buddha, from his contemplative gaze to the subtle lines of his benevolent smile. The robe, rendered in a vibrant red mosaic of inlaid stones, adds a striking visual element. This intricate inlay work, featuring captivating shades of blue and green, is not merely decorative; it signifies the precious gems and the richness of the spiritual treasures that enlightenment bestows. The careful tessellation of these stones evokes the checkered patterns often found in traditional Buddhist art, adding a layer of cultural depth and authenticity.

A Sacred Presence for Inner Peace

Standing at 16 inches tall, this substantial statue is designed to be a commanding yet peaceful presence in any sacred space, meditation room, or home altar. Its commanding size ensures it draws the eye and inspires contemplation, while the calming posture and dignified expression of the Buddha radiate an aura of tranquility. The thoughtful placement of the Buddha's hands, one in the lap holding a small alms bowl (a symbol of monastic life and detachment) and the other touching the earth, reinforces the teachings of renunciation and groundedness. This artwork serves as a tangible reminder of the Buddha's journey and the potential for inner peace and wisdom that lies within each individual. It is a piece that speaks to both the artistic appreciation of fine craftsmanship and the deep spiritual resonance of Buddhist philosophy, embodying the timeless quest for liberation and enlightenment.

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.
