The Crowned Buddha: An Embodiment of Enlightenment

This majestic 26-inch brass statue depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, crowned and seated in serene meditation. The crown itself, a symbol of royalty, points to Buddha's princely origins before he renounced his worldly life in search of spiritual liberation. The intricate detailing of the crown, with its delicate floral motifs, represents the blossoming of wisdom and enlightenment he attained. Buddha's serene countenance radiates tranquility and wisdom, inviting contemplation and introspection. His downcast eyes symbolize inner focus and detachment from worldly distractions. The gentle curve of his lips suggests a subtle smile, reflecting the inner peace he found upon reaching enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. In the Buddhist tradition, the crown also symbolizes the Five Dhyani Buddhas, celestial Buddhas representing five aspects of wisdom and enlightenment. This representation links the historical Buddha with the cosmic principle of Buddhahood itself. The statue captures Buddha in the *dhyana mudra*, the meditative posture. His hands rest gently in his lap, the right hand over the left, palms facing upwards. A small bowl rests upon his palms, symbolizing his acceptance of offerings and his role as a recipient of devotion. This mudra represents the balance and harmony necessary for achieving enlightenment, a state of perfect stillness and awareness. This posture is also reminiscent of the moment of Buddha's enlightenment, as he sat beneath the Bodhi tree, unwavering in his meditation, resisting the temptations of Mara, the demon who personifies illusion and desire. The statue's golden hue, achieved through the skilled application of brass casting, further amplifies the sense of spiritual radiance emanating from the enlightened one.

The Lotus Throne: A Symbol of Purity

The Buddha is seated upon a meticulously crafted lotus throne. The lotus flower, emerging from muddy waters to bloom in pristine beauty, is a powerful symbol of purity and spiritual awakening in many Asian cultures. Just as the lotus rises above the murk to embrace the light, so too does the enlightened being transcend the suffering and attachments of the material world to achieve liberation. The lotus base also references the Buddhist cosmology, where the different levels of existence are depicted as a series of unfolding lotus petals. The throne's intricate carvings and decorative patterns further enhance the statue's aesthetic appeal, reflecting the rich artistic traditions of India. The downward-reaching hand, the *bhumisparsha mudra*, or earth-touching gesture, symbolizes Buddha's calling upon the Earth to witness his enlightenment. It recalls the moment when, challenged by Mara, Buddha touched the earth to call upon the goddess Sthavara to testify to his past good deeds and his worthiness of achieving enlightenment. This gesture signifies the unshakeable nature of his realization. This exquisite piece, handmade by skilled artisans in India, serves not merely as a decorative object, but as a focal point for contemplation and a reminder of the path towards enlightenment. It brings the profound symbolism of Buddhist philosophy into your living space, inviting peace, serenity, and a deeper connection to the spiritual realm.

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.
