Serene Buddha Ensemble Sculpture - A Tribute to the Enlightened Teacher
This profound sculpture of Shakyamuni Buddha, flanked by devoted pupils, is an exquisite depiction of the historical Buddha and his teachings. The artwork commemorates the beloved sage's life and the community he inspired. The statue, made with precision from oxidized copper, displays the profundity of Buddhist tradition and creativity.
The sculpture's oxidized copper body is polished to give it a darker, antique appearance, emphasizing the superb detail work that brings this scenario alive. The oxidation process increases visual depth and gives the piece a sense of history and longevity.
In the central axis, Shakyamuni Buddha sits in serene meditation, his hand gesture symbolizing the earth as the witness to his enlightenment. Surrounding him, the figures of his disciples are captured in various poses of devotion and contemplation, reflecting their respect and commitment to his teachings. The elaborate backdrop completes this sacred tableau with its intricate motifs and symbols, creating a three-dimensional representation of the Buddha's spiritual lineage.
