Product description
Monumental Antique Fire-Gilded Bronze Shakyamuni Buddha Statue – Kasaya Rice Field Robe – 18th Century – 69 cm / 27.00 kg Specifications: 69 cm high | 54 cm wide | 27.00 kg (Extremely heavy, monumental temple casting) This monumental antique bronze Shakyamuni Buddha statue is a powerful Tibetan / Himalayan monastic object of exceptional, palatial scale. With a solid and impressive weight of no less than 27.00 kilograms and a height of 69 cm, this sculpture represents a thick-walled temple commission of the highest category. The Buddha is depicted in Abhaya mudra: the raised right hand as a sign of protection, reassurance, and the dispelling of fear. Why purchase this monumental masterpiece? (Function & Protection) Due to its immense scale and layered history, this colossal bronze is specifically designed to anchor an unyielding atmosphere of spiritual safety, abundance, and stability in high-end interiors, entrances, or meditation spaces: The Shield of Fearlessness: The Abhaya mudra symbolizes inner peace, confidence, and spiritual safety. It is a posture that literally says: "do not fear." It functions as a powerful energetic shield that dispels negativity and external obstacles from the entire space. The Spiritual Harvest (The Kasaya Robe): The reverse side displays the traditional Tibetan Kasaya monk's robe, hand-engraved with a geometric rice field pattern. This symbolizes the "field of merits": spiritual nourishment, discipline, wisdom, and the harvesting of good karma and abundance. Traditional Offering Architecture: The left hand rests open in the lap in the meditative Dhyana mudra. This hand was deliberately cast horizontally and open to historically hold a separate, heavy metal life vase (kalasha) or begging bowl during ceremonies. This separate casting method demonstrates uncompromising monastic quality. Microscopic Evidence of Ancient Devotion & Fire Gilding The deep, golden-brown temple patina shows the character of an intensely lived and worshipped monastic object, where microscopic examination undeniably proves its pure pre-industrial authenticity: Hidden Gold Islands: Deep beneath the robe folds — in places that have completely escaped centuries of ritual polishing by monks — are thick, layered islands of the original fire-gilding (gold-amalgam). This 24-karat gold is overgrown with a legitimate, petrified crust of ancient temple soot and incense ash. Sharp Craft Traces: The casting skin shows the original, palpably sharp manual scraping and filing marks of the master caster himself. These marks were etched into the metal at the time of manually removing the raw casting skin and prove that the statue has never been 'smoothed' by modern or mechanical means. Geometric Wax Plate Structure: The open underside reveals the original, manually pressed wax plates from the ancient cire perdue process. The interior shows the deeply blackened casting channel and the original mineral deposits and white veils from the borax flux.
