Brass Buddha Figures – Three Sacred Forms

These small brass figures carry a timeless presence, each reflecting an important aspect of Buddhist spirituality and practice. They are crafted in traditional form, showing the Buddha seated in meditation postures and the compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. Though compact in size, they embody deep symbolic meaning, making them suitable for personal altars, meditation spaces, or as thoughtful gifts.

The image of the Buddha is among the most recognisable symbols of peace, wisdom, and awakening in the world. Depictions of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, often show him seated in meditation or teaching mudras, embodying the qualities of serenity, compassion, and insight that form the heart of Buddhist teaching. Brass figures like these are often used in homes and temples as reminders of mindfulness, ethical conduct, and the path toward liberation.

Sitting Buddha

This figure shows the Buddha in the earth-touching mudra, one hand resting on his lap, the other reaching to touch the ground. He is seated upon a lotus throne, one of the most important symbols in Buddhist art. Just as the lotus rises pure and unstained from the mud, so too does spiritual awakening emerge from the challenges of worldly life. The lotus throne is therefore a reminder of purity, resilience, and the possibility of enlightenment for all beings, regardless of their circumstances. The posture recalls the moment of enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, when the Buddha called the Earth to witness his awakening. It symbolises steadfastness, victory over illusion, and unshakable resolve on the path of truth.

Dimensions: 4 x 3 x 2 cm.

Small Sitting Buddha

Though smaller in size, this figure depicts the Buddha in the dharmachakra mudra, the gesture of teaching and turning the wheel of Dharma. Both hands are held before the chest, symbolising the first sermon at Sarnath, where the Buddha shared his insight into the Four Noble Truths. It is a reminder of wisdom, guidance, and the transmission of knowledge.

Dimensions: 2 x 3 x 1 cm.

Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara

Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is one of the most beloved figures in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Known as Chenrezig in Tibet and Guanyin in China, Avalokiteśvara embodies infinite compassion for all beings. Shown here with hands pressed together in anjali mudra, the gesture of devotion and unity, Avalokiteśvara invites practitioners to cultivate kindness and to dedicate their actions to the benefit of others. In Buddhist belief, the Bodhisattva vows to remain in the world until every being is liberated from suffering.

Dimensions: 3,5 x 2 cm.
