This engraved brass standing Buddha captures that narrative of accessible wisdom. The artisan employs a demanding dual-patination technique, chemically oxidizing the clinging monastic robes to a deep, mottled green while leaving the face, hands, and feet brilliantly gilded. By intricately chasing the darkened garment with sweeping floral motifs, the master caster transforms raw alloy into a highly tactile, visual meditation on divine contrast.\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 towering, slender figure on a raw timber credenza or a minimalist stone mantel, where natural light can strike the polished golden features against the emerald robes. It serves beautifully as a standing dual-tone brass Buddha statue for an entryway console, appealing deeply to design-led collectors who appreciate towering, architectural metalwork. Measuring exactly 22.9 inches in height, the sculpture shares the approximate vertical stature of a classic table lamp base, establishing an immediately dominant vertical axis without requiring excessive horizontal footprint. At a substantial 8.29 kg, the concentrated mass of the cast alloy provides undeniable grounding stability, easily justifying its premium nature as a monumental focal point. The intense manual discipline required to execute the precise dual-tone finish and the microscopic robe engravings validates this piece as an elite achievement in traditional Indian casting. To construct a cohesive, historically inspired entryway that bridges towering figurative metalwork with classic, functional vessels, consider pairing this piece alongside an antique brass decorative water vessel and an engraved copper surahi vase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46197022556335,"sku":"VSP-172","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/94_Compressed_75536afd-21e0-43d8-bffe-0171597dddb8.jpg?v=1762343014","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/standing-dual-tone-brass-buddha-statue","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
