A Symbol of Power and Dharma

This exquisite brass statue embodies the spirit and majesty of the Lion Capital of Ashoka, a powerful emblem that graces the national emblem of India. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by skilled artisans in India, this handmade piece stands as a testament to traditional craftsmanship and enduring artistry. The lustrous brass, polished to a warm sheen, reflects the noble stature of this iconic symbol.

Echoes of Ancient Empires

The Lion Capital of Ashoka, originally erected by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great in the 3rd century BCE, is not merely a sculptural marvel but a profound representation of power, authority, and the spread of dharma. Ashoka, after a period of conquest, embraced Buddhism and sought to propagate righteous conduct and moral principles throughout his vast empire. The four lions, roaring in the four cardinal directions, symbolize the omnipresent nature of the Buddha's teachings and the spread of his message of peace and compassion. The abacus, adorned with representations of a charging bull, a galloping horse, an elephant, and a lion, signifies the four stages of life or the different directions from which wisdom can be attained, all under the watchful gaze of these noble beasts. The dharma chakra, or wheel of law, that originally topped the pillars, represented the path to enlightenment and the cosmic order.

A Timeless Decorative Accent

This compact 6-inch rendition captures the essence of the original monument, making it a perfect addition to any space seeking a touch of historical grandeur and cultural significance. Place it on your desk as a source of inspiration, on a bookshelf to add a literary charm, or as a striking centerpiece on a console table. Its intricate detailing, from the fierce yet regal expressions of the lions to the fine carvings on the abacus, will captivate the eye and spark conversations. As a handmade piece, each statue possesses its own unique character, a subtle variation that underscores its artisanal origin. It is more than just a decorative item; it is a tangible link to India's rich heritage and a symbol of strength and righteous living.
