Painted Shakyamuni Statue with Dragons

• More than just a powerful piece of art, this masterpiece Shakyamuni statue is a sacred object that can transform your home into a sanctuary of peace and enlightenment. Hand painted by the renowned artist, Meenu Shakya.
• According to tradition, Shakyamuni Buddha shared his enlightened wisdom, promoted peace, and taught people how to unleash the great potential of their lives. This statue depicts him in a meditative pose, radiating serenity and enlightenment. Displaying this statue in your sacred space invites peace, wisdom, and spiritual awakening to your life.
• Meenu Shakya's masterful hand-painting brings this statue to life with vibrant colors and intricate designs. The flowing robes, adorned with lotus flowers and dragons symbolize purity, enlightenment, wisdom, and strength.

This Shakyamuni statue is carved entirely by hand, then cast using the lost wax method. Over eight artists work on carving, making wax molds, pouring hot bronze, and hand painting the gold faces and eyes on a statue like this. It takes Meenu Shakya herself months to complete a statue with such intricate hand painted details.

This statue is full of colorful painted detail including Tibetan dragons, lotus flowers, and swimming fish. Dragons have special meaning and symbolism in many cultures. They are fierce protectors and wise leaders, guardians and sages. Tibetan dragons are protectors of Buddhism whose thunderous voices awaken us from delusion. The face of the statue is painted with gold leaf in the traditional manner.
