Brass Buddha Statue Hands Down 11.5 cm

A small brass Buddha statue for a quiet shelf, altar space or bedside corner, with a seated form that feels composed rather than ornate. The warm metal catches the light across the face and robes, while coloured stone detail brings a bright, mosaic-like richness to the figure.

Seated presence and lowered hands

• The figure sits cross-legged, with a calm face, long ears and a softly detailed headdress.
• The lowered hands give the pose a grounded, inward quality, suited to a meditation corner or mindful home setting.
• Turquoise-toned and red stonework adds colour across the robe and seat without overwhelming the brass.
• The raised base gives it a steady, ceremonial feel when placed on a shelf, desk or small altar.
• Its compact form suits close viewing, where the facial detail and patterned folds can be properly noticed.

Brass with coloured howlite detail

The statue is made from brass with howlite stones, giving it a cool, weighty feel in the hand and a warm golden tone to the eye. It is handcrafted by artisans in Old Delhi, India, so small variations in finish, stone placement and surface character are part of its nature.

Placing and caring for it

Keep it indoors on a stable, dry surface. Brass naturally deepens in tone over time; leave the patina to soften with age, or wipe gently with a dry cloth to keep the surface clear of dust. Avoid prolonged damp, which can mark metal and stone detail.

Buddhist imagery, kept with respect

Buddha statues are used across Buddhist cultures as devotional images, contemplative objects and reminders of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni. A seated posture often points towards stillness, attention and practice, especially when the figure is placed where the eye naturally rests. In a modern home, this kind of piece can sit between sacred and decorative use: respectful enough for an altar, beautiful enough for a quiet interior, and never needing to be explained loudly.

Common questions

Is this a laughing Buddha?
No. The image shown is a seated Buddha figure, not the round-bellied Budai often called the laughing Buddha.

Can it be used outdoors?
It is best kept indoors. Brass and stone detail can change with weather and prolonged moisture.

Will each statue look exactly the same?
No. Because it is handcrafted, small differences in finish, colour placement and surface detail should be expected.
