{"product_id":"tibetan-style-brass-seated-buddha-statue-8-5-cm","title":"Tibetan-Style Brass Seated Buddha Statue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis brass seated Buddha statue measures approximately 8.5 × 6 cm and weighs about 170 g. A dark antique-style patina highlights the figure, vessel and lotus-patterned base. The finish describes its appearance, not historical age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis small seated figure brings together two closely related strands of Himalayan Buddhist imagery. Read as Shakyamuni, the vessel at the lap recalls the alms bowl of the wandering teacher who left royal privilege, accepted only what was freely offered, and found awakening through the Middle Way. The upright meditation posture returns to his night beneath the bodhi tree, when he faced fear and distraction without leaving his seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead as the Medicine Buddha, the same vessel becomes a medicine bowl and shifts the story toward relief from suffering. The image then honors knowledge joined with compassion: seeing pain clearly, understanding its causes, and responding with practical care. The figure's identity is intentionally described with care because compact regional statues can combine attributes rather than follow a single iconographic formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dark antique-style patina does not claim historical age, but it gives the brass the visual depth of an object handled and contemplated over time. Highlights catch the face, vessel, robe edges, and lotus while the recesses remain nearly black. At 8.5 cm, the statue has the intimacy of a personal altar object and the visual weight of a much larger shrine figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: dark antique-style patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 8.5 × 6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 170 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis statue is offered for devotional display and cultural appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dust with a soft dry cloth.
