Description

This extraordinary 13-inch Amitabha Buddha statue emerges from Nepal's sacred metalcraft traditions, where master artisans employ the ancient lost-wax method to create this striking dual-tone masterpiece. The oxidized copper body presents a profound visual contrast - the Buddha's radiant copper skin glowing against the deep matte patina of his monastic robes, symbolizing how enlightened awareness shines through worldly form. Seated upon a single lotus throne with exquisite petal detailing, Amitabha cradles the alms bowl of infinite compassion in his meditative hands, his serene expression inviting practitioners into the boundless peace of the Pure Land.

More than metal, this is a bridge between worlds. The hollow core awaits consecration with sacred mantras or relics, transforming it into a living vessel of Amitabha's blessings. The interplay of matte and polished surfaces creates ever-changing reflections during meditation - much like the Buddha's infinite light adapts to all who call upon him. Whether placed in your home shrine or meditation space, this statue serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a powerful support for practice. For Pure Land practitioners, it's a visual anchor for nianfo; for all seekers, a reminder that enlightenment is never farther than one mindful breath away.
