Handcrafted Gold Tibetan Shakyamuni Buddha Sculpture
This Buddhist statue of Buddha was skillfully hand-carved in Nepal utilizing age-old Himalayan techniques. He is portrayed as meditating while seated on a moon disc lotus seat, performing the 'Bhumisparsa Mudra,' representing the moment of the Buddha's awakening. We have expertly enveloped the Buddha's robe with exquisite turquoise. The lotus seat, robe, and other essentials had to be carved, designed, and sculpted in the style of the ancients, which took more than a month. Acrylic paints were used to draw attention to the deity's facial features.

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
