Buddha means "Awakened one" or "Enlightened one. Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, in Sanskrit, or Siddhattha Gotama, in Pali, was a spiritual teacher from ancient India and the founder of Buddhism. The Buddha image portrays the traditional figure of the meditative Yogin, transcendent in his mental powers yet very much a part of this world. Many a time, he is surrounded by images of radiance and abundance, the sun disc and the trees, and supported by lions, emblems of his royal position. While his placement atop a lion throne, and the presence of two attendants holding chowries, serve to emphasize his regal position, at the same time, his Yogic posture, humble robe and gestures of reassurance embody the spiritual nature of his message. This image remained the primary source for subsequent figures of Buddha through Asia. One of the consistencies of Buddhist art in India was the retention of this essentially human image, even when it was surrounded by an array of figures and images of wealth and abundance.
Brass sculptures are cheaper replicas of bronze statues made by the artisans of Tanjore in Tamil Nadu in south India. Since bronze sculptures, made through lost wax are very expensive, artisans of north India (Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh) began to make cheaper versions in brass for more price conscious customers. These brass statues aren't as elegant as the ones in bronze, but they are priced three times cheaper and many people buy them as good decorative pieces instead of buying them as collectibles.

Buddha Head Brass Statue Collectible Figurines 5 x 3 inches Customer Review
This heavy brass head of Buddha is an interesting and peculiar sight. Its long elvish ears seem to extend till the bottom of its neck, hanging on the sides of a head that is comparitively much smaller. Dark lines mark the features of the face that seems to be having a very contented sleep. The brass gives it an incredible blooming shine under the light; an interesting double meaning to the Enlightened One. Wavy patterns extend all over the head to mark the large thick hair, that is arranged in a dome on the very top of the head. All of this makes it a really conspicuous presence in the room that you put it in, because how can you not admire such a strange and distinctive sight. A+ Seller. I will purchase from them again.
