Prince Siddhartha Gautama in Royal attire.
Cast Bronze.
Nepal, 19th century.
The early Buddhist texts state that Prince Siddhārtha's motivation in renouncing the palace life was his existential self-examination, being aware that he would grow old, become sick and die. This awareness would also inspire his teachings later, such as on suffering and the Four Noble Truths.
