FREE Delivery
An unassuming ascetic sits in sustained padmasana under a tree. Behind the still, unmoving exterior, He is caught in the violent throes of dharana-dhyana-samadhi. His atma borders on the great Enlightenment, quivering on the edge of self-knowledge. Any moment now His being would tip over from existential darkness to absolute effulgence; any moment now the earth (bhoomi) would be called upon through touch (sparsha) to witness this powerful transition.

The poise of His long limbs and the composure of His divine countenance are enough to inspire the devotee. He is steeped in higher-order contemplation - note the half-shut eyes, the gathered petal-mouth, and the base of the nose cinched into the brow. The gracious wide-set brow define the handsomeness of the former Shakyamuni. Lengthened karna-kundalas flank the ascetic’s neck, which feature the same serrations as on the body of the sweet-sounding conch.

As for the rest of the Buddha’s form, the traditional iconography is intact. A richly embroidered robe featuring motifs of the tropical forest. Knees that touch the ground He sits upon, in unison with the sitting bones, the perfect three-point dhyani asana (meditative stance). While with one hand He calls upon the earth as witness to the Enlightenment that is about to come, in the other He cradles the begging bowl of His mendicant days.



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.
