About this piece
3.5" solid brass Buddha — ushnisha with curled hair, urna, elongated earlobes; shoulder cape inlaid with red and green/turquoise stones in circular pattern. 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
Hand-painted enamel work in the meenakari tradition — each colour band laid into engraved channels, fired, and polished. The craft is centuries old; the technique cannot be machined. 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.

Each piece is hand-cast individually. Slight variation in finish and dimension is part of the character of the work.
Care & placement
Wipe regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character. Polish gently with a brass cleaner to restore brightness.
