Description
This sculpture is seated in meditation on a double-lotus base, in flowing monk attire. Intricate fine carvings on the robe and expressive facial features showcase their exceptional craftsmanship.
Newari artists have celebrated their traditional craft for centuries, primarily creating gold sculptures that highlight the history of Buddhist figures from Nepal. While many people see the Buddha as a meditative figure, those with deeper knowledge recognize Gautama Siddhartha, who was born around 563 BC in Lumbini, Nepal, as the historical Buddha. In Buddhist tradition, Shakyamuni Buddha stands as one among many Buddhas.
In addition, this Buddha sculpture serves an essential role in Tibetan Buddhism. Newari artists designed this sculpture as an artistic representation for meditation and learning, combining spiritual and artistic significance.
