Gold Plated Shakyamuni Statue

• This Shakyamuni statue is handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal by a 5th generation crafting family using traditional methods.
• Each bronze statue is made using the lost wax method.  After casting, it is hand detailed and carved by master craftsmen before being completely 14K gold-plated. Finally, the Buddha's face is painted with gold.
• This traditional process takes a considerable amount of time and skill.  Each and every detail is truly incredible and takes months to create.

The Shakyamuni Buddha was a spiritual master who lived and taught in modern day India and Nepal.  Shakyamuni taught others to be awakened to the true nature of reality and freed from suffering.

Statue measures approximately 8 inches tall and is about 5.25 inches wide at the base.
