About Siddhartha Gautama (Baby Buddha)
Siddhartha Gautama, later known as the Buddha, is revered as the enlightened teacher who rediscovered the path to liberation from suffering. According to Buddhist tradition, his birth was marked by miraculous signs, including his ability to take seven steps immediately after being born. This miniature statue of baby Siddhartha symbolizes the moment of his birth, a significant event in Buddhist history. His teachings, centered around the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, have guided millions toward the path of wisdom and inner peace.
Bronze Patina Finish
This exquisite statue features a unique bronze patina finish, a traditional technique that gives red copper an aged and timeless appearance. Achieved using organic materials like butter and vegetable-based colors, this process enhances the depth and warmth of the statue, making it appear like an antique heirloom. The craftsmanship behind this finishing technique is a rare and fading art form, preserved by skilled artisans who ensure that each piece carries a sense of history and elegance.
Lost-Wax Casting Method
This Baby Buddha statue is handcrafted using the lost-wax casting method, an ancient technique that allows for precise detailing and durability. The process begins with a wax model, which is coated in ceramic and heated to remove the wax, leaving a hollow mold. Molten copper is then poured into the cavity, forming a perfect metal replica of the original design. After cooling, the ceramic mold is broken away to reveal the intricately detailed sculpture, ensuring that each statue is unique.
This rare miniature Baby Buddha statue is not only a work of art but also a meaningful spiritual representation, ideal for collectors and practitioners alike.
