A Portrait of Enlightenment

Bring the serene presence of the Buddha into your home with this striking sculpture, a testament to centuries of artistic tradition. This piece captures the essence of the enlightened one, his face a mask of profound peace, offering a visual reminder of the path to inner harmony. Crafted from a fusion of brass and stone, the sculpture embodies the enduring nature of spiritual wisdom. Place it in a meditation space, living room, or office, and let the tranquil energy permeate your surroundings.

The Curly Locks of Wisdom

The Buddha’s hair is depicted in tight, snail-shell curls. This is more than just a stylistic choice; it represents the 108 snails that, according to legend, covered the Buddha’s head to protect him from the sun while he meditated. Each curl symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and the commitment to spiritual growth. The meticulously crafted curls on this sculpture showcase the artistry involved in rendering this iconic symbol.

Depicting the Divine

Representations of the Buddha vary across different cultures and artistic periods, but certain features remain consistent, signifying his enlightened state. The serene expression, the elongated earlobes—remnants of his princely past when he wore heavy jewels—and the *urna*, the dot between his eyebrows representing the third eye of wisdom, are all hallmarks of Buddha iconography. This sculpture carefully incorporates these details, creating a powerful and authentic portrayal. The closed eyes invite contemplation and reflection, encouraging the viewer to seek inner peace. The use of both brass and stone lends a richness and depth to the piece, highlighting the textures and contours of the Buddha’s face.

Dimensions and Placement

This 9.5 x 6.5 x 6.0 inch sculpture is ideally sized for a variety of settings. It's large enough to make a statement, but not so imposing that it overwhelms a space. Consider placing it on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or altar. It could also be a focal point in a garden or patio. Regardless of where you choose to display it, this Buddha head will bring a sense of calm and spiritual depth to your environment. The combination of brass and stone ensure its stability and longevity, allowing you to enjoy this beautiful work of art for years to come.
