The image of the serene, self-contained Buddha. The erstwhile Shakyamuni, lord (‘muni’) of the Shakya clan, son of the ruler Shuddodhana and His wife, Mayadevi, Siddhartha Gautama was long ordained to be the Buddha.
Despite His father’s adoration and loving protection, the mere sight of senescence and death juxtaposed with youth and well-being, was enough to yank Him into the path of self-searching.
The murti that you see on this page captures the Buddha at the point of Enlightenment that arrived after those years of austerities and mendicancy and finally samadhi.
A deep brown monotone with gold overtones. A throne carved out of a gigantic lotus bloom, in the bed of which sits the Buddha in a superb padmasana. In one hand, a sprig of the myrobalan (crucial to traditional Tibetan medicine); in the other, a pot of the mystical antidote to senescence and death. From the multitudinous petals of the throne to the embroidered robe of the Buddha and the miniscule coils of His hair, each aspect of this seated murti has been carved with unflinching precision and symmetry. Finally, a handsomely carved head, an inimitable composure of countenance.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars.
