The Gesture of Teaching and Debate

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene and benevolent presence of Lord Buddha in the Vitarka Mudra, a posture deeply symbolic within Buddhist traditions. The Vitarka Mudra, characterized by the right hand raised with palm facing outwards and fingers pointing upwards, is the gesture of teaching, discussion, and the transmission of knowledge. It signifies the Buddha's wisdom, his earnest desire to share the Dharma, and his power to allay fear and doubt. In ancient India, this gesture was often used by orators and philosophers to convey their arguments and engage their listeners, embodying the very act of discourse and the dissemination of truth. ––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Spiritual Significance

Handcrafted in India, this eight-inch sculpture is a testament to the enduring legacy of Indian craftsmanship. The use of brass imbues the statue with a timeless quality, its lustrous sheen reflecting the spiritual radiance of the subject. The intricate detailing on the Buddha's robes, the delicate rendering of his facial features, and the symbolic placement of his hands all contribute to its profound aesthetic and spiritual appeal. The seated posture, often the lotus or half-lotus position, signifies a state of meditative stillness and perfect balance. The Buddha, seated serenely, appears ready to impart his profound teachings, inviting contemplation and inner peace to all who behold him. This particular rendition showcases the Buddha holding a small bowl, perhaps representing the alms bowl he carried, symbolizing his renunciation and the humility with which he approached the world. ––––––––––––––––––

A Symbol of Enlightenment and Peace

The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and dedicated his life to alleviating suffering through the understanding of the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The Vitarka Mudra, as depicted here, is one of the most frequently encountered mudras in Buddhist art, representing the very essence of his mission. It is a reminder that wisdom is to be shared, that understanding is attainable, and that the path to liberation is accessible to all. Bringing this statue into your home or sacred space can serve as a constant source of inspiration, fostering an atmosphere of peace, wisdom, and spiritual growth. It is more than just an object of art; it is a conduit to the profound philosophy and the comforting presence of the enlightened one, a tangible link to a spiritual heritage stretching back millennia.

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.
