Buddha Head (5×3 inch)

Silver Buddha Head (बुद्धा हेड): Silver Buddha Head statues have meaning from head to toe. Siddhartha Gautama was a prince in India around 500 BC who set out to discover meaning in the suffering he witnessed. Once he found enlightenment, he began to spread his philosophy. He became known as Buddha, a title, since given to others, that means “awakened one”.

Buddha heads or Silver Buddha Head , as they are known, are not just the depictions of the head of the Buddha, but the symbolic as well as spiritual representation of the enlightened one’s wisdom and knowledge.

Though there are many depictions and styles of the Silver Buddha Head depending on the region of the origin, the basic meaning that the iconography represents is somewhat the same over the history of Buddhism. These statues of a prince turned religious/spiritual leader are rather known to have encoded symbols in them, which were used in a preliterate, oral culture to pass on the messages of the Buddha’s teachings and knowledge.

Many features of the Buddha heads represent different meanings according to the principles of Buddhism like the mudras depicted in Buddha statues. Specifically a Buddha head is carved to represent the Buddha’s wisdom along with the serene smile of the face symbolizing the Buddha’s peaceful and calm nature.

Few of the most conspicuous features are the ushnisha, a large cranial bump on the head which represents the knowledge and wisdom the Buddha(Silver Buddha Head) attained after being enlightened, the urna, a small hairy bump between the eyes of the Buddha which symbolizes the all seeing supernatural vision that the Buddha has, the long ears signify the wealth he had during his life as a prince and the curly hair of the Buddha represent the nobility he possesses. The ushnisha sometimes takes the form of a flame which indicates illumination. The facial expression of a Buddha head is mostly serene with the half closed eyes which mean he is closed in meditation with a gentle smile on the lips.

The Silver Buddha Head statues are taken as the objects of great significance in Buddhism and by the followers of the religion. But this does not mean that the Buddha heads carry only religious significance as they possess much other significance in anyone’s life. These sculptures also act as great objects of decoration of anyone’s surroundings as they radiate the feeling of peace and calm around you. Along with the beautification of the surroundings, they spread the influence of peace and harmony around anyone’s life.
