Lord Buddha is worshipped popularly as a super human in Tibetan Buddhism and every gesture of his hand and body is symbolic to an all-different kind of message or an instance in Buddha’s life, that directly or indirectly helps the disciples to get away from the worldly desires and material aspects.
This brass sculpture depicts Buddha seated in a lotus posture and the hands forming Dharmachakra mudra.
This mudra is a representation of the ‘Wheel of Dharma’ symbolic of wheel of teachings of Dharma in Buddhism and signifies one of the most important moments in lord Buddha’s life, where he gave his first sermon in Sarnath after attaining enlightenment. If you zoom in to the image, you will surely applaud the sculptor’s precision in carving out Dharmachakra mudra with such accuracy.
Both the hands are held against the chest in vitarka and the thumb and index finger of both the hands touch at their tips forming the circle called wheel of dharma. The facial features are exquisitely chiselled that also comply with the dull golden brass shade of this Buddha statue which highlights every expression beautifully and realistically.
The small dot on the forehead represents Buddha’s third eye of wisdom and the multiple small coiled hairs are the snails that have permanently settled on Buddha’s head to sav him from extreme weather conditions, while he is in his meditation. Well apart from the features, the robe that he adorns in this Buddha brass statue, is an eye catchy aspect; completely inlayed in a color amalgamation of green, white, blue and red.
On an inlayed base of green, sculptor has amazingly cut the white reconstituted stones to form flowers spread all across the robe and the empty spaces filled with blue circular stones. To give a bright contrast, sculptor has chosen for a red border highlighted with green and blue designs. This brass Buddha sculpture can gracefully ornate the place wherever kept.
