Hand Carved Statue of The Buddha Shakyamuni
This one of a kind sculpture of the Buddha Shakyamuni was made by our master craftsmen of Kathmandu. Carved from the finest materials, the artists have used a pure copper body and 24k gold to coat the body of the sculpture. The deity is depicted sitting over a moon disc lotus with two elephants spewing multicolored water beside the throne. The deity wears a crown and multiple body ornaments entirely covered in precious stones signifying royalty and statues, the crown seat, which covers the backside of the statue, is decorated with turquoise stones. An umbrella resides atop the crown seat, indicating that the person below is the center of the universe. The right arm is extended over the knee in the earth witness mudra, with the fingers touching the ground. The left hand is placed on the lap, palm upward, in the meditation mudra with an alms bowl. This particular statue took our craftsmen a year to complete, the amount of detail given to every corner of this sculpture is flawless, and it highlights the significance of the great Buddha. You can use this figurine for different Buddhist Rituals and meditational practices.

The Buddhist tradition was founded by Shakyamuni Buddha. In the sixth century B.C.E., he lived and taught in India, at a period of rising religious and philosophical thinking from Greece to China. Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and was 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. To uncover the reasons of this anguish and the methods to alleviate it, he abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold.
