Shakyamuni Buddha – The Historical Buddha of Compassion and Enlightenment
Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born around 563 BCE in Lumbini, present-day Nepal, Shakyamuni achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and went on to teach the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path—core principles guiding practitioners toward liberation from suffering.
The word Buddha means “The Awakened One”, and his teachings emphasize the impermanence of life, the causes of suffering, and the path to inner peace. This serene statue embodies Shakyamuni’s enlightened presence, offering a timeless symbol of peace, clarity, and spiritual wisdom.
Gold-Plated Finish – Radiance Meets Reverence
This Shakyamuni Buddha is electro gold plated, a modern and effective technique where a thin but durable layer of gold is deposited on the copper surface using electric current. This creates a radiant finish that is both visually striking and long-lasting, bringing an aura of divinity to the statue.
The luminous golden surface reflects light beautifully, enhancing the calm and dignified expression of the Buddha. Gold has long symbolized purity, enlightenment, and sacred energy in Buddhist art, making this statue a fitting object for meditation spaces, altars, and spiritual collections.
Dual Craftsmanship: Ceramic Mold and Lost-Wax Systems
This piece exemplifies a fusion of modern and traditional casting techniques, combining the ceramic mold casting process with the revered lost-wax system, both ensuring high precision and exquisite detail:
Ceramic Mold Casting
-
Begins with a finely crafted wax model.
-
The model is coated in ceramic slurry to form a durable shell.
-
The wax is melted out and replaced by molten copper, creating a faithful metal reproduction.
Lost-Wax Method
-
Thousands of years old, this process allows artisans to sculpt intricate designs in wax, build a multi-layer ceramic shell, and cast the final statue in metal.
-
The result is a high-fidelity reproduction with delicate features and artistic integrity.
Whether using traditional lost-wax artistry or ceramic mold innovation, this statue reflects the refined skills of Nepalese metal craftsmen dedicated to preserving the spiritual essence in sacred sculpture.
