A one-of-a-kind standing Buddha sculpture. Usually depicted as a seated figure nestled in the belly of a lotus, Siddhartha Gautama had a long past before He sat down at the foot of the Bodhi tree. He had spent years wandering the dense Himalayan foothills as an ascetic and the great Northern plains as a mendicant. The murti that you see on this page is of the wandering mendicant, seemingly just arrived at the door of a householder seeking bare nourishment.
A close-cropped lotus blooms beneath His unclad feet. With the left hand, He holds up a small alms bowl. The open palm of the right hand is indicative of aashirvada (blessing). Like the householder’s largesse to the ascetic, the renunciate’s blessing is indispensable to the householder. A long, lean silhouette could be divined from underneath the gossamer folds of the Buddha’s flowing robes. It is etched with smooth, widely spaced-out curves to bring out the beauty of His austere form.
This standing Buddha murti is available in a range of colors, each of which comes with overtones of gold at strategic points in the composition. Depending on where this may be installed, one could go for the tone that goes best with the mood of the space in question.
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.
