The Shakyamuni Buddha is seated on a lotus base. He has an alms bowl in his lap held by his left hand. His right hand is extended towards the ground in the earth touching mudra. In this posture the Buddha is referred to as the Shakyamuni Buddha.

The intricate details along the back of this peice includes scenes from the Buddha's life:

1. According to Buddhist legend, Maha Maya, the Buddha's mother, dreamed that a white elephant with six tusks entered her right side, which was interpreted to mean that she had conceived a child who would become either a world ruler or a Buddha.

2. The Birth of the Buddha

3. The Buddha had cut his hair when he left his palace to achieve enlightenment. It is an act of renunciation to cut off ones' hair. When the Buddha left his life as a prince he cut off his hair and started to live as a monk.

4. Tthe Buddha becoming enlightened. One day, seated beneath the Bodhi tree (the tree of awakening) Siddhartha became deeply absorbed in meditation, and reflected on his experience of life, determined to penetrate its truth. He finally achieved Enlightenment and became the Buddha.

5. The First Sermon at the Deer Park in Sarnath

6. The death of the Buddha as he passes into parinirvana. Parinirvana is used to describe the bodily death of someone who has attained Nirvana during their life. The Buddha is said to have died at age 80 between 486-483 B.C. in Kushinagar, lying on a bed under two trees.

I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.
You just know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart. - Kyle Tortora, Founder of Lotus Sculpture

Copper statues from Nepali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They are meant solely for indoor use.

If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the copper statue. Pay special attention to not go over any painted area of the sculpture.

If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue. Please pay special attention to not use any oil on any painted surface of the sculpture, such as the face. This will damage the paint and possibly recolor the painted area. Simply use a cotton cloth to dust the face if the face requires attention. Make sure the surface that touches the face does not have any oils present on it. If there are natural stones on the sculpture use caution while going over the stones as they can become dislodged while handling the sculpture.
