The Gesture of Dispelling Fear and Bestowing Wisdom

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene presence of the Buddha in the Vitark Mudra, a gesture deeply significant in Buddhist iconography. The Vitark Mudra, formed by bringing the thumb and index finger of the right hand together, palm facing outwards, symbolizes the transmission of teachings, the unfolding of wisdom, and the dispelling of fear and doubt. It is a gesture of discussion and argument, of intellectual and spiritual discourse, a representation of the Buddha's tireless efforts to guide sentient beings towards enlightenment. In Hindu mythology, this gesture is also associated with Vishnu, the preserver, further underscoring its connotations of protection and guidance.

A Masterpiece of Indian Craftsmanship

Handmade in India, this statue is a testament to the enduring artistic traditions and meticulous craftsmanship that have flourished on the subcontinent for centuries. The body of the Buddha is cast in brass, lending it a timeless quality and a satisfying weight. The intricate details of his serene face, the coiled curls of his hair, and the graceful folds of his robes are rendered with remarkable skill. What truly elevates this piece is the vibrant inlay work adorning his robes and the throne. Dazzling pieces of red coral, turquoise, and lapis lazuli are precisely set into the brass, creating a stunning mosaic of color that reflects the opulence and spiritual fervor often associated with Tibetan Buddhist art. These gemstones themselves carry symbolic weight; coral is often linked to protection and vitality, turquoise to wisdom and healing, and lapis lazuli to inner truth and communication, all aligning with the essence of the Vitark Mudra.

The Seat of Enlightenment

The Buddha sits in a meditative pose, his posture exuding peace and stability. The elaborate base upon which he rests is also a work of art, featuring ornate carvings and further inlay work, echoing the vibrant hues of the robes. This elevated platform signifies not just a physical seat but also the elevated state of consciousness attained by the Buddha. In Buddhist lore, the lotus throne, upon which many deities are depicted, symbolizes purity and spiritual growth, with the lotus blooming from muddy waters, representing the journey from worldly attachments to enlightenment. While this base may not be a literal lotus, its regal design and the precious stones imbue it with a similar sense of sacredness and divine presence. This statue is more than just an object of beauty; it is a conduit for contemplation, a reminder of the Buddha's teachings, and a source of spiritual inspiration, bringing a touch of ancient wisdom and artistic brilliance into any 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.
