Buddha Shakyamuni (Siddhartha Gautama)

Siddhartha Gautama lived in Northern India ca. 2,500 years ago. The epithet Shakyamuni refers to his princely origins and can be translated as ‘the wise man from the family of Shakya’. Born as a prince, Shakyamuni felt a deep compassion for the four sufferings of mankind (birth, aging, sickness and death) from an early age on. Eventually he left his family and went on a spiritual journey. After a few years he attained enlightenment. As Buddha (‘the awakened one’), Shakyamuni traveled all over India to share his wisdom with people and promote peace. At the age of 80 Buddha Shakyamuni passed away and his teachings gave rise to various schools of Buddhism.



Condition: The bronze head is in good condition with slight traces of age and use. Small scratches, minimal material loss around the neck area and wax marks on the head are visible. On the base it bears a mounting with screw for suspension on a base. The head is 35 cm height and 17 cm width.
