The sculpture depicts Buddha Shakyamuni standing on a lotus seat. The face of the Buddha is imbued with subtle concepts like bodhi, prajna, karuna and yoga, imparting a higher level of spiritual experience.
Buddha has elongated earlobes and meditative half closed eyes. His body is slim and slender. His right hand is in the gesture of abhaya (fearlessness or reassurance), while the left one is in the pose of varada (a gesture of offering boon).
The Buddha is wearing a sanghati (monastic robe), which is richly decorated with incised, scrolling designs. The whole ends just near his feet, flaring open there like a long skirt. The unique aspect of this sculpture is the aureole behind Buddha with a shape conforming to his own body and enclosed within a fine, decorative border.
This sculpture was created in the central Indian city of Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh).
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.
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.
