Handcrafted Oxidized Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha for Shrine Altar
This Oxidized Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha stands 13 inches (33 cm) tall with a base width of 9.4 inches (24 cm), weighing 3.52 kg. Expertly handcrafted from oxidized copper, the statue showcases the refined craftsmanship of skilled Nepali artisans.

Seated in tranquil meditation, Shakyamuni Buddha’s half-closed eyes radiate serene wisdom and enlightened clarity. His right hand reaches down in the bhūmisparśa mudrā, calling the Earth to bear witness to his awakening. In his left, a fragile alms bowl embodies humility and renunciation. Atop his head rests the ushnisha, symbolizing ultimate wisdom, while his snail-shell curls nod to the tale of snails shielding him from the sun during deep contemplation. Poised on a moon disc lotus in vajra posture, he stands as a timeless emblem of purity, stability, and calm focus—an artistic homage to the founder of Buddhism.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni, began his journey as Siddhartha Gautama, a prince from ancient Nepal who courageously left behind royal luxury in search of deeper truth. Beneath the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment and unveiled a path to end suffering. At the heart of his teachings lie the Four Noble Truths: acknowledging suffering, understanding its origin, realizing its cessation, and following the path to liberation. This journey—the Noble Eightfold Path—guides us through right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration, leading to ethical living, mental clarity, and the ultimate freedom known as nirvanna.
