4" Small Lord Shakyamuni Buddha Copper Statue | Handmade Idol | Lord Buddha Statue

Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted with specific hand gestures and postures that hold deep symbolic meaning. His right hand is in the Bhumisparsha mudra, also known as the "earth-touching" mudra, signifying his victory over Mara and his enlightenment at Bodhgaya. His left-hand holds a pindapatra, a traditional alms bowl used by monks for collecting food offerings.

He maintains a straight back, keeps the shoulders straight, focuses the eyes on the tip of the nose, and has the lips and jaw in a naturally relaxed position. It is also seen that Shakyamuni Buddha's two prominent disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, are positioned to the right and left of his throne when viewed from the Buddha's perspective. These disciples played significant roles in the spread of Buddhist teachings and are often featured alongside the Buddha in Northern Buddhist art.
