Experience the serene complexity of Buddhist symbolism with our Indonesian Brass Buddha Head Statue. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this statue portrays the Buddha with 8 faces, each looking in a different direction, a powerful representation of the Buddha's omniscience and the encompassing nature of enlightenment. The presence of a circular third eye, or urna, adds a layer of depth, symbolizing the opening of spiritual insight and wisdom.
The statue's significant ushnisha, a protrusion on the top of the head, highlights the Buddha's supreme knowledge and the attainment of an elevated state. This feature, coupled with the Buddha's introspective gaze, encourages a peaceful and contemplative environment, making the statue not only a piece of art but also a spiritual guide.
Finished with a dark and rich chocolate brown patina, this brass statue contrasts beautifully against its black wooden stand, presenting a visually stunning piece that enhances any room's decor. Whether placed in a meditation area, living space, or office, it serves as a constant reminder of the path to enlightenment and the depth of inner peace.
"The sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."
~ Buddha~
The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia. Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name. In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.~ Buddha~
The Buddha was a son of the rulers Sakyas. He was married at the age of 16 and lived in luxury and comfort sheltered from the harsh realities of life. When he was 29 he realized that men are subject to old age, sickness and death. He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence. He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth.
With the two of samanas he attained mystical states of elevated consciousness but he failed to find the Truth. He continued his search and was joined by five ascetics in a grove near Uruvela, where he practiced sever austerities and self-mortification for six years. When he fainted away in weakness, he abandoned ascetic practices to seek his own path to Enlightenment. Discarding the teachings of his contemporaries, through meditation he achieved Enlightenment, or ultimate understanding. There after the Buddha instructed his followers in the dharma (truth) and the "Middle Way" a path between worldly life and extremes of self-denial.
The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths: 1) life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering. 2) suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence; 3) to stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and 4) the way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration. The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.
Brass statues from Bali, Indonesia do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. Bali brass is meant only to be used indoors.
You can use a natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil and a cotton cloth to periodically wipe down the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair. This will not remove any of the natural patina on the statue.
