13" Meditative Lord Shakyamuni Buddha Copper Statue | Nepalese Copper Statue | Decorative Copper Idol | Copper Statue For Temple

Shakyamuni Buddha, the initiator of the Buddhist faith, lived and taught in India, a period marked by a flourishing of philosophical and religious thought spanning from Greece to China. Buddhist figures effectively communicate through their hand and body postures. Notably, Shakyamuni's right hand extends to touch the earth, recalling the moment he invoked the earth's testimony to his triumph over Mara, the supreme deity of the worldly realm (samsara). This act silenced Mara's attempts to divert his meditation. As a response, the earth resonated with tremors, affirming Shakyamuni's attainment of Buddhahood.

Meanwhile, his left hand is serenely placed in his lap, adopting the meditative mudra, and it gently cradles his alms bowl—a testament to his embodiment of both inner contemplation and his role as a mendicant monk.
