A glittering brass Buddha to grace the home or office of the finest devotee. The contemplative monk is seated on a high, ornately carved plinth.
The same is embossed with layers of lotus petals protruding outwards in every direction, creating an interesting silhouette.
Zoom in on the petals to appreciate the engraved detailing on the petals, each of which features a gracious golden centre.
The Buddha wears a loose, flowing robe. It is draped over a single shoulder and brought down the other, which serves to accentuate those regal shoulders.
It is a bitone robe (like the rest of the composition), a combination of deep gold and coppery tones. The interesting thing about the robe is that significant episodes from the life of the Shakyamuni are carved onto the fabric. This is best appreciated from the back view of the murti. For example, the times when he glances upon disease and senescence and death. The complexion of the Buddha’s body is a gentle contrast in silver. His skin is smooth, almost iridescent. A delicately featured, distinctly youthful face, framed by lengthened earlobes and a head full of luxuriant curls gathered in a stoopa-like bun at the very top.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
