7" solid brass Buddha — tall pointed flame-like ushnisha/crown finial; robe and base lotus pedestal inlaid with red, turquoise, and blue stone work. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.

About this deity

The Buddha — Siddhartha Gautama, the awakened one — sits in dhyana mudra, the gesture of meditation. His presence in a room is an invitation to stillness. While not a Hindu deity, the Buddha is honoured across South Asia and is welcome in any contemplative space.

Craft notes

Decorative stone inlay — turquoise, coral, lapis, or coloured glass — is set into the brass body by hand. Each inlay piece is cut and seated individually; no two pieces are exactly alike. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.

Care & placement

A versatile piece — works in a pooja room, an entryway, or as a tabletop accent. Polish occasionally to maintain finish.
