Buddha Shakyamuni on Lotus Throne – Traditional Brass...

Lost Wax Cast Brass Alloy Artifact — Elegant brass statuette depicting Buddha Shakyamuni (Siddhartha Gautama), the historical Buddha and central figure of the Buddhist tradition. The Buddha is shown seated in a meditative pose atop an elaborate lotus throne, symbol of purity and spiritual awakening. The figure features the characteristic elements of Buddhist iconography, including elongated earlobes and the ushnisha, the symbolic protuberance on the crown associated with wisdom and enlightenment. The right hand is raised with the palm facing outward in a ritual gesture that can be traced to the Abhaya Mudra, traditionally associated with protection, reassurance, and fearlessness. The left hand rests in a composed position on the lap. Particularly decorative is the base, formed by a double succession of finely modeled lotus petals. The harmonious lines of the robe, the serene expression on the face, and the warm golden tone of the brass give the sculpture a balanced and elegant appearance. A refined object of Oriental decorative art, interesting for a collection devoted to Buddhist culture and iconography, as well as a furnishing element for contemporary, ethnic, or meditation spaces.
