With his pure body exuding the exquisite beauty of gilded copper this statue from Nepal portrays a captivating image of the Buddha. The form of Buddha in this statue is called “Bhumisparsha” Buddha, where he touches the earth with his hand extended downward. The icon beautifully depicts the features of Buddha, from his curled hair, half-opened eyes, and inwardly smiling lips to the softness of his Cheevara (monk’s garment) that seems to be translucent on his torso, making his navel visible from underneath the fabric.
Made with precision that makes one forget the solid nature of metal, this copper statue of the Buddha is a marvelous example of the brilliance of Nepalese artwork.
