Why is it the Statue of the Week?
This sacred statue of Amitabha Buddha was created in Patan by the skilled artisan Sudan Shakya. Standing 45.7” (116 cm) tall, it is crafted from copper and finished with triple-layer 24K gold gilding, enhanced by deeply engraved carvings that create a refined three-dimensional effect. Handcrafted with detailed gold and acrylic paintings, this sacred representation radiates serenity and spiritual brilliance, making it ideal for temples, grand altars, or dedicated meditation spaces. ✨🙏

Himalayan Buddhist Statues

The artist community of the Kathmandu Valley is justifiably famous for the metal-working skill and artistry. The level of mastery still distinguishes the finest metal-smiths of the Valley today. The art of making traditional Himalayan Buddhist statues is painstaking, time-consuming, and requires consummate skill from all who contribute. First produced by lost-wax casting, the raw casting is refined and detailed by chasing (hammering a sharp tool into the surface of the statue) to create the details of the crown, hair, fabric designs, jewelry, and all-important facial features of the divine visage.

Even the smooth areas are given a final polish by gently hammering the surface. After the copper body is finished in great detail, the gilders take over and fire-gild the entire surface with an amalgam of mercury and gold. It is then heated to vaporize the mercury, so that the gold permanently stays on the body. Next a burnisher takes over, rubbing the entire piece with an agate tool affixed to the end of a stick. The statue is then ready for the artist, who will complete and embellish it in various colors — in some cases, costly pigments of ground lapis lazuli and gold as needed in the iconography.
