Crowned Siddhartha Gautam Shakyamuni Buddha, Symbol of Peace and Enlightenment
This Crowned Siddhartha Gautama Shakyamuni Buddha statue is made of oxidized copper, which gives it a unique finish that accentuates its spiritual presence. The piece is 10 inches (25.5 cm) tall, 7.9 inches (20 cm) wide, and weighs 2.61 kg. The oxidized copper's dark tones complement the elaborate crown and delicate craftsmanship, creating a centerpiece for meditation rooms or home altars.
The crown worn by Shakyamuni Buddha represents his enlightened state, and mastery of both spiritual and material realms, and serves as a reminder that enlightenment transcends earthly attachments. His right hand is held in bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), inviting the ground to witness his moment of enlightenment, while his left hand is resting in his lap in dhyana mudra, which represents inner meditation. The calm expression, which includes downcast eyes and a gentle smile, conveys genuine compassion and tranquility. The statue, seated in vajrasana (lotus stance) on a smooth foundation, exudes steadiness and mindfulness, representing unwavering focus and enlightenment.
