This one stands out of all the seated Buddha statues made by artisans and sculptors today. Beyond the traditional iconography lies a distinguishing aspect. The monk’s robe is embossed with images that tell stories of His short yet eventful life.
His birth after the Queen Maya dreamed up the wise and gentle elephant, the mahabhinishkramana (the great renunciation), His years as a mendicant and ascetic, then finally mahanirvana (the great enlightenment), dhammachakraparivartana (the fateful Bodhi tree sermon), and mahaparinirvana (the great attainment).
The dark brown robe sets off the gold of the Buddha’s skin. A handsome, symmetrically sculpted face framed by the lengthened earlobes of the wise. He is seated in the finest padmasana, steeped in contemplation. The Sanskrt word for the same is samadhi, a smooth flowing seedless experience of the mind. It is after having travelled through each stage of the long, inward-driven process that Buddhahood occurred to the erstwhile Shakyamuni.
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.
