Standing Dipankara Buddha – Bronze Statue from Nepal

This impressive bronze statue from Nepal depicts Dipankara Buddha, the Enlightened One of the past who foretold the coming of Gautama Buddha. Crafted in the traditional Nepalese style, the statue stands 43 cm tall, 17.5 cm wide, and weighs 4.8 kg.

Dipankara is always shown standing upright with his arms extended downward, in a calm and protective gesture. The figure wears a monastic robe over both shoulders, a feature typical of Nepalese Buddhist iconography, and has a polished, serene facial expression. This statue was made by hand using the lost-wax casting method and reflects the influence of Newar craftsmanship.
