Hand-Carved Small Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Art
This small statue of Shakyamuni Buddha is hand-carved in our studio, Kathmandu. The deity is depicted sitting on a lotus seat with a calm expression holding an alms bowl in his right hand, and his left hand is an earth-touching mudra. We molded the statue from a copper body, gilded the entire figure with 24k gold, and used an acrylic painting to pint his hair and the features of his face.
This beautiful small statue of Shakyamuni Buddha can be a wonderful gift for your loved ones or yourself.

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain in life. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
