Lotus Buddha Colorized 5 oz Copper Medal
Lotus Buddha Colorized 5 oz Copper Medal
A serene subject given real weight. The Lotus Buddha medal places a seated Buddha at the center of a lotus in full bloom, one of the oldest and most enduring images in devotional art, and renders it in full color across five ounces of copper. The lotus is the point of the piece: rooted in mud, opening clean above the water, a symbol of clarity emerging from difficulty that has carried the same meaning for well over two thousand years.
Copper is the right metal for this design. The warm base tone sits underneath the colorization rather than fighting it, and at 5 ounces the artist has room for the layered petals, the folds of the robe, and the calm of the face to actually register. It holds its own in a case and reads just as well on a stand or a desk.
Strictly limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide.

Why Collectors Buy This

- Enduring subject: Buddha and lotus imagery has centuries of artistic history behind it, so the piece does not depend on a trend to stay interesting.
- Color on copper: The warm metal underneath gives the colorization a depth that a white metal base tends to flatten.
- Scale for detail: Five ounces gives the petal layering and robe work room that a 1 oz round cannot provide.
- Crossover appeal: Meditation, wellness, and eastern art themes draw buyers from outside the usual collector base, which makes it an easy gift piece.
