Shakyamuni Buddha Copper Statue, 13 Inch Handmade Newar Sculpture, Aged Oxidized Patina, Made in 2012, Kathmandu Valley

This handcrafted Shakyamuni Buddha statue from Patan, Kathmandu Valley, features pure copper with an aged oxidized finish. Warm copper tones contrast with darker patterned robes and a detailed lotus pedestal.

The Buddha sits cross-legged, holding a bowl in his left hand while his right hand reaches toward the base. Fine geometric patterns, decorative robe borders, and carefully shaped facial features reflect the artisan’s detailed work.
