Shakyamuni Buddha, born as Gautama Siddhartha in Lumbini around 563 BCE, is regarded as the Enlightened One, embodying compassionate understanding and supreme awareness. His teachings form the foundation of Buddhism, focusing on the nature of suffering, its cause, and the path to its cessation. At the heart of his message is the realization that desire and attachment lead to suffering, a teaching resonating across multiple spiritual traditions.

This miniature Shakyamuni Buddha statue, crafted from copper, features a unique combination of silver plating and chocolate oxidation, creating a beautiful contrast between the radiant silver highlights and the deep, oxidized tones that add character and depth. The serene expression of the Buddha, along with his meditative posture, symbolizes inner peace, wisdom, and the path to liberation from worldly suffering.

The figure stands as a reminder of the Buddha's teachings, encouraging one to seek inner enlightenment over material pursuits, fostering compassion, understanding, and a deeper connection to the world. A perfect piece for those seeking spiritual growth and peace.
