Finely Hand-Carved Standing Buddha Shakyamuni Statue
We, Vajrayana artists from Kathmandu Valley, have masterfully hand-carved the standing buddha Shakyamuni statue in the traditional Himalayan style. The statue has the elegance of antiquity because it is made of oxidized copper. Here, in the statue, the Buddha is depicted standing elegantly on a moon disc lotus seat, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. His left-hand forms the Abhaya mudra, which represents protection and fearlessness. The statue depicts his facial expressions, peaceful and calm, characteristic of Shakyamuni Buddha.
We assure you this brilliant piece's quality and longevity as only the best materials were used. It is a perfect souvenir for any devotee like yourself, can be used for Buddhist rituals, and is a great addition to your Altar.

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain in life. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
