This stunning 12-inch Shakyamuni Buddha in oxidized copper will bring calmness and spiritual clarity into your living space. This item is carefully handmade in Nepal and has an oxidized copper body with gold and acrylic embellishments, as well as a gorgeously silver-plated lotus base. The statue shows Buddha in the earth-touching mudra, which represents enlightenment, strength, and inner calm.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a calm, meditative state with half-closed eyes, embodying profound inner peace and an awakened presence. His right hand is in the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), signifying the moment he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment. His left hand holds an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation and the simplicity of the monastic path. Atop his head rests the usnisa, representing supreme wisdom, while his hair is styled in snail-like coils, referencing the well-known story of snails protecting him from the sun during prolonged meditation. He sits gracefully in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus base, conveying stability, spiritual purity, and unwavering focus. This refined iconography honors the profound presence of the historical Buddha—serene, dignified, and deeply symbolic.
