Seated atop a vast lotus form as lustrous as His own form, Lord Buddha is depicted in this unusual gold-and-silver-hued brass sculpture in the vitarka mudra that stands for dialogue and/or teaching (the circle formed by the thumb and the index finger symbolizes the cyclical flow of energy and information). The ornate aureole befits the spiritual appeal of such an entity as the Lord Buddha Himself.

An Embodiment of Enlightenment and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene presence of the Buddha in a moment of profound teaching. Seated in the traditional lotus posture, the figure exudes an aura of deep wisdom and tranquility. The subtle smile and closed eyes suggest an inward focus, a contemplation of the Dharma that the Buddha so graciously shared with the world. The gesture of the raised hand, palm facing outward, is known as *abhaya mudra*, symbolizing fearlessness, protection, and reassurance. This gesture invites followers to cast aside their anxieties and embrace the path to enlightenment.

A Radiance of Divine Presence

Behind the Buddha, a magnificent aureole rises, intricately detailed with swirling patterns and auspicious motifs. This radiant halo signifies the Buddha's enlightened nature and the vastness of his wisdom, radiating outwards to illuminate all beings. In Buddhist iconography, the aureole is not merely decorative; it represents the boundless light of understanding that dispels ignorance and suffering. The craftsmanship evident in the fine details of the aureole speaks to the dedication and skill of the artisans.

The Artistry of Sacred Traditions

Handcrafted with meticulous care by skilled Indian artisans, this statue is a testament to centuries-old traditions of sacred art. The use of brass, a material long associated with divine effigies, lends a timeless quality and a warm, inviting glow to the piece. Each curve and detail has been brought to life through traditional casting techniques, resulting in a statue that is both a work of art and a sacred object. This piece embodies the spiritual heritage of Tibetan Buddhism, often drawing inspiration from Indian artistic styles that have shaped Buddhist art across Asia. The depiction of the Buddha holding a begging bowl in his lap is also a significant symbol. It represents the monastic life of humility, detachment from material possessions, and the reliance on the generosity of others, mirroring the Buddha's own renunciation and his teachings on impermanence.

A Symbol for Peace and Reflection

More than just a decorative item, this statue serves as a powerful reminder of the Buddha's teachings on compassion, mindfulness, and the pursuit of inner peace. Its presence can transform any space into a sanctuary of calm and contemplation. Whether placed in a home altar, a meditation room, or a living space, it invites a moment of stillness in our busy lives, encouraging introspection and a connection to spiritual values. The rich history and profound symbolism embedded within this beautiful brass representation of the preaching Buddha make it a truly meaningful addition to any collection or sacred space.

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.
