Rock Crystal Buddha Gilt Bronze

Made by a Nepalese artist in the deeply cultural Tibetan land, carrying the seal of authenticity, this magnificent crystal and bronze Shakyamuni Buddha is a work of sculptural artistry. Buddha is seated on a lotus throne with his left hand holding a bowl (also made of rock crystal), a symbol of charity and humbleness. A form fitting robe covers his body exposing his right shoulder, revealing an elaborate necklace. The Buddha's face in natural rock crystal with its remarkable clarity lending a celestial luminosity to the sculpture. Softly rounded features, gently arched brows, and delicately sculpted eyes lowered in quiet contemplation, conveying serenity and inner wisdom. A lapis-blue coiffure with textured curls, crowned by ushnisha brings depth and visual brilliance to the composition. The richly gilded bronze robes and ornamental details provide a sophisticated contrast to the purity of the crystal, showcasing the remarkable skill of traditional metalworking artisans. Rock crystal has long been revered across cultures as a stone of clarity, wisdom, and positive energy, making this sculpture a meaningful symbol of peace and harmony.
