The heavily lidded eyes capture the master in a state of deep, inward-looking meditation, disconnected from the transient illusions of the physical world. The elongated earlobes serve as a permanent physical reminder of his former life as a heavily jeweled prince who renounced all material wealth. By treating the tight curls of the ushnisha with a rugged, earthen patina while leaving the face enveloped in smooth shadow, the artisan visually elevates this meditating Buddha face decor into a solemn relic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eStyling Notes \u0026amp; Home Placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003ePosition this striking artifact on a minimalist light-wood entryway console, where the bold finish contrast can serve as a deeply textural, architectural focal point. It functions spectacularly as a black brass Buddha head for living room decor, instantly establishing a grounded atmosphere for design-conscious collectors. Standing exactly eight point six inches tall, the figure shares the approximate vertical height of a standard glass water carafe, drawing the eye without requiring a massive tabletop footprint. At 1.59 kg, the concentrated mass of the cast metal provides unyielding physical gravity to any chosen surface. The precise chemical control required to perfectly isolate the heavily textured, earthen crown from the smooth, blackened face validates this casting as an exceptional foundry achievement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eFrame the profound, light-absorbing patina of this head piece within an architectural antique brass shrine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190976204975,"sku":"VSP-103","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/73_Compressed_95cf0c1b-d134-4a6d-8d82-a6c242365153.jpg?v=1762175668","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/dark-oxidized-brass-buddha-head","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
