This copper statue stands 9.1 inches (23 cm) tall, with a base width of 6.3 inches (16 cm), and weighs 1.60 kg with deeply engraved linings of pure silver.

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was the historical founder of Buddhism who lived in ancient India around the 5th century BCE. He is revered as the "Awakened One" who attained enlightenment through his profound wisdom and compassion. Shakyamuni's teachings, known as the Dharma, form the foundation of Buddhist philosophy and practice, guiding countless followers toward the realization of their true nature and the cessation of suffering. He is often depicted in a seated or standing meditation posture, with intricate mudras (hand gestures) symbolizing various aspects of his teachings.
