This 3D-printed Museum Replica of the Seated Buddha from Hadda captures the serene meditative pose of the original ancient artifact, originating from the Gandhara region in present-day Afghanistan during the late Kushan period around the 300s CE. The sculpture depicts the Buddha seated in the lotus position with hands in the dhyana mudra, flanked by two attendants—a layman and a monk—offering tributes. It exemplifies Greco-Buddhist art, blending Hellenistic realism with Indian spiritual iconography, including symbolic elements such as the ushnisha, urna, elongated earlobes, and halo.
Crafted using advanced 3D printing techniques, the Seated Buddha is available in the following materials:
– White Nylon: Polished for a smooth surface, providing an economical option with a matte finish.
– Black Nylon: Treated post-printing with Color Touch finish for enhanced resistance to scratching, rubbing, and external conditions, ensuring consistent color across batches and a uniform, high-quality surface.
– Bronze: Produced via metal casting, where a wax master model is created through 3D printing, followed by plaster molding and liquid metal injection, resulting in an elegant metallic appearance.
– Gold Plated Brass: Created using metal casting with gold plating applied, offering a luxurious golden sheen.
– White Rhodium Plated Brass: Produced through metal casting with white rhodium plating, providing a bright, silver-like finish resistant to tarnish.
