About this item:
In the tradition of Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhist bronze sculpture, the Buddha in Abhaya Mudra is depicted at the moment of his most complete teaching, not the teaching of words, but the teaching of presence. The posture says everything the Dharma has ever said, without a single syllable: sit still, open your hands, let go of the thing you are afraid of, and simply be here.
This idol captures that teaching with full sculptural authority. Buddha is depicted in Padmasana, the full lotus seated position, his legs crossed completely, his left hand resting in his lap cradling a small alms bowl, his right hand raised in Abhaya. The face is the face of someone for whom the question of fear was settled long ago, the eyes lowered in gentle, inward focus, the lips curved in the half, smile of someone who has arrived at a place they will never need to leave.
The lotus base completes the composition with equal richness, the double,l otus pedestal with its detailed petal tiers and narrative border carvings supporting the entire figure with the symbolic weight that the lotus always carries in Buddhist iconography: the enlightened mind rising unstained from the mud of the unenlightened world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Buddha suitable for a Hindu household or only Buddhist homes? Lord Buddha is revered within the Hindu tradition as an avatar of Lord Vishnu, the ninth avatar in many Vaishnava traditions. Buddha statues are widely placed in Hindu homes for their qualities of peace, wisdom, and auspiciousness. This piece is appropriate for any household, regardless of specific religious tradition.
Is the green finish painted or part of the metal? The green finish is chemical oxidation of the brass surface, not paint or external coating. It is part of the metal itself, stable under normal indoor display conditions, and will deepen naturally over time in a way that enhances rather than diminishes the beauty of the piece.
How do I care for the two-tone finish? Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. Do not use standard brass polish on the green oxidised areas, it will remove the patination. For the gold-tone face and hands only, a small amount of brass polish applied carefully with a soft cloth is appropriate. For the green areas, a lightly damp soft cloth removes dust without affecting the finish.
Is this suitable for a meditation practice? Absolutely. A 15 inch solid brass Buddha of this weight and presence is an exceptional focal point for meditation practice, the Abhaya Mudra, the closed eyes, the half-,smile of equanimity all support the quality of attention that meditation cultivates.
