This Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha, stands at 12.8 inches (32.5 cm) in height and 8.9 inches (22.5cm) at the base, weighing 3.79 kg. Made from 24K Gold Gilded, Gold, and acrylic Paintings, a Copper Body, and Gemstones, this handcrafted sacred figure embodies the enlightened presence of the historical Buddha. Expertly crafted by skilled artisans, it is a profound focal point for meditation and spiritual altars.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a serene, meditative pose with gently lowered eyes, reflecting profound inner calm and awakened awareness. His right hand forms the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), marking the moment he called upon the Earth as witness to his enlightenment. The left hand holds an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation and the simplicity of the monastic life. His head features the uṣṇīṣa, a symbol of supreme wisdom, and his hair is arranged in snail-like curls, recalling the story of snails shielding him from the sun during long meditation sessions. Seated elegantly in the vajra posture on a lotus base shaped like a moon disc, he represents stability, spiritual purity, and focused determination. Behind him, two blooming lotus flowers signify purity from samsara and the gradual blossoming of enlightenment. This carefully crafted iconography honors the noble and tranquil presence of the historical Buddha, which is full of deep symbolic meaning.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, born as Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and shared the path to liberation from suffering. At the core of his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering (duḥkha), its origin (samudaya), its cessation (nirodha), and the path leading to its cessation (mārga). This path is known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—a guide to ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom that leads to the end of suffering and ultimate freedom (nirvāṇa).
