Shakyamuni Buddha: The Enlightened One

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha, is the founder of Buddhism and a symbol of compassionate understanding and enlightened consciousness.

• Historical Background:
  • Born around 563 BCE in Lumbini (now Nepal), Shakyamuni Buddha’s life and teachings are the foundation of Buddhist philosophy.
  • The term “Buddha” means “awakened” or “supreme awareness,” representing the attainment of enlightenment.
  • His teachings focus on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, addressing the causes of suffering and how to overcome them.
  • Shakyamuni Buddha’s message emphasizes the importance of inner enlightenment rather than material success, advocating for peace, wisdom, and the alleviation of suffering.

Chocolate Oxidized Finish – Aged Patina

This Shakyamuni Buddha miniature statue features a chocolate oxidized patina, enhancing the piece with a vintage, antique look.

• Authenticity and Aging Effect:
  • The patina is not just a superficial paint but a deep, artificial oxidation process that mimics the natural aging of copper.
  • This technique lends the statue a historical charm, capturing the essence of a time-worn artifact.
  • It serves as both an aesthetic enhancement and a protective layer, offering longevity and resistance to wear.
  • The result is a unique piece that exudes depth, authenticity, and timeless elegance.

Crafted Using Ceramic Molding System

The Shakyamuni Buddha statue is crafted through the modern Ceramic Molding Process, an advanced technique that ensures precision and quality in every detail.

• Molding Process:
  1. A detailed wax model is created to replicate the statue’s design.
  2. Multiple layers of ceramic material are applied to form a sturdy mold.
  3. The mold is kiln-fired, causing the wax to melt and leave a cavity.
  4. Molten copper is poured into the mold to create the final sculpture.
  5. After cooling, the ceramic mold is carefully removed, revealing the completed statue.
• Benefits:
  • This method produces fine detail and accuracy in the statue’s form.
  • It offers a modern approach while retaining the artistry of traditional craftsmanship.
