Product description
Monumental Nepalese Fire-Gilded Shakyamuni Buddha Price: €28,745
This monumental Shakyamuni Buddha is an exceptionally powerful sculpture for those seeking a true centerpiece imbued with tranquility, presence, and spiritual depth. With a height of 59 cm, a width of 41 cm, and a weight of 15.4 kg, this sculpture immediately evokes the presence of an important altar or temple figure. The Buddha sits in the classic Bhumisparsha Mudra, the gesture of touching the earth as a witness to enlightenment. Within Buddhism, this posture symbolizes steadfastness, inner strength, and the overcoming of doubt. The sculpture is crafted from a heavy copper alloy with clear remnants of fire gilding. The warm gold tones in protected areas, the deep patina, and the natural wear give the surface an impressive character. Precisely this combination of gold, age, and use makes the sculpture visually powerful and spiritually charged. The robes are richly adorned with hand-engraved floral motifs and decorative details. The craftsmanship of the face, hands, and lotus base also demonstrates the refinement characteristic of Nepalese Buddhist art.
Notable features include the old oxidation, mineral deposits, and traces of traditional lost-wax casting on the interior. Furthermore, under UV light, organic residues are visible around protected areas and at the base's seal, consistent with prolonged ritual use. A rare and impressive object for a serious collector, meditation room, gallery interior, or private collection where a single sculpture is intended to command the entire space.
