A Buddha-head wall-hanging such as the one you see on this page is a statement piece of home decor. Not only is it exotic and replete with meaning, but it also doubles as an object of worship and/or visualisation sadhana. This, of course, has a lot to do with the standard of aesthetics that defines the composition. Handpicked from the studios of the finest artisans in the subcontinent, it far from fails on that account. This Buddha-head is fashioned from pure brass. The finish is a coppery colour with earthy green overtones, which adds to the soothing quality of the work of art. Indeed the image of the dhyani (contemplative) Buddha is one of the most calming images in the world, to which this mask is no exception. A profound, contemplative composure has been somehow infused into the handsome features of the erstwhile Shakyamuni. Understandably He is in the finest recesses of samadhi or yogic contemplation, which led Him to Buddhahood under the Bodh Gaya. The monotone of the composition is brought out by the singular presence of gold. On the convolutions of those long-lobed ears and the tiny stoopa at the zenith of His bun, the colour adds some much-needed lustre to the wall-hanging.
