Introducing the 20" Brass Vitarka Mudra Buddha Statue

This magnificent 20.5 x 14.0 x 10.5-inch brass Buddha statue embodies the serenity and wisdom of the enlightened one. Crafted with meticulous detail, this piece is more than just a decorative item; it's a portal to profound spiritual reflection. The deep green patina, accented with gold detailing, evokes the timeless aura of ancient Buddhist artistry. The statue's substantial size commands attention, making it a striking focal point in any space, whether a meditation room, a home altar, or a study. The rich, aged brass finish adds to the statue's authentic feel, enhancing its spiritual presence.

The Vitarka Mudra: A Gesture of Teaching and Discussion

The Buddha is depicted in the Vitarka Mudra, a hand gesture signifying the discussion and propagation of Dharma, the teachings of Buddha. This mudra is often seen in Buddhist art and represents the act of teaching, dispelling ignorance, and sharing the path to enlightenment. The open palm, fingers extended and lightly touching the thumb, symbolizes the transmission of knowledge and wisdom. In many ancient texts, this gesture is directly linked to the Buddha's public discourse and his method of teaching, offering a connection to the historical events that shaped Buddhism. This powerful pose, captured with incredible detail in this statue, invites viewers to contemplate the profound wisdom the Buddha imparted.

Mythological and Cultural Significance

The imagery of the Buddha himself is rich with symbolic meaning. In various Buddhist traditions, the Buddha is not just a historical figure but a representation of the potential for enlightenment within all beings. The serene expression on this Buddha’s face, coupled with his posture, transmits feelings of tranquility and wisdom, creating a meditative atmosphere. The detailed base of the statue is adorned with intricate carvings, which adds another level of spiritual depth. These carvings often represent elements found in Buddhist cosmology or figures from Buddhist lore, further enriching the statue's cultural significance. The use of brass, a material historically associated with longevity and resilience, reinforces the enduring nature of Buddhist teachings.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

This statue isn't simply cast; it's meticulously crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each detail, from the gentle curve of the Buddha’s lips to the intricate patterns adorning his robes, showcases exceptional artistry. The slightly aged patina isn't a defect, but a testament to the authentic craftsmanship, giving the statue a timeless and revered quality. The craftsmanship reflects the reverence and respect given to the Buddha in countless cultures and traditions across Asia and beyond. Owning this statue is to bring a piece of that rich cultural heritage into your home or workspace.

Beyond Decoration: A Source of Inspiration

This 20" Brass Vitarka Mudra Buddha statue transcends mere decoration. It serves as a constant reminder of peace, inner wisdom, and the potential for enlightenment. Whether used for personal meditation, as a focus for spiritual practice, or as a beautiful centerpiece, this statue offers a daily connection to the profound teachings of the Buddha. Its presence is an invitation to find stillness amidst the chaos of daily life and to tap into a deeper sense of purpose and tranquility. It's an investment not only in art, but in a journey towards inner peace.

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.
