Product description
Rare Himalayan Buddha with Silver-Plated Finish Price: €2,250 This unique Buddha statue is an object for lovers of authentic Himalayan art, ancient metalwork, and sculptures with a strong presence. The combination of the warm brass-colored base and the partially preserved silver plating creates an appearance that immediately sets it apart from standard bronze Buddha statues. Due to natural wear on the highest parts of the statue, a subtle contrast emerges between silver and golden tones. Precisely this combination gives the surface depth, character, and an aura that only arises through long-term use and aging. The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the gesture in which the earth is called to witness enlightenment. Within Buddhism, this mudra symbolizes steadfastness, inner strength, and overcoming obstacles. As a result, this depiction is among the most beloved and recognizable Buddha representations. The statue is constructed from separate parts. The Buddha and the lotus throne were crafted separately and then assembled into a single piece. Traces of this traditional construction method are still visible on the underside, a technique frequently found in older Himalayan and Tibetan altar statues. The refined fingers, the serene facial expression, the almond-shaped eyes, and the meticulously crafted lotus throne demonstrate the maker's craftsmanship. Together with the silver-plated finish, these details give the statue a calm, dignified, and timeless appearance. With a height of 29 cm and a weight of 3.5 kg, the statue possesses a solid presence without appearing massive. This makes it particularly suitable as a central object on an altar, in a meditation room, or as an important piece within a collection of Himalayan art.
