Product description
This antique bronze statue depicts Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, seated in meditation. The figure is presented with both hands held in the Dharmachakra mudra, a canonical gesture symbolising the setting of the Wheel of Dharma in motion and the transmission of spiritual knowledge. Traditionally cast in bronze, the sculpture features a distinctive openwork pedestal enriched with figurative details, characteristic of historic South or Southeast Asian Buddhist art. The piece measures 39.8 centimetres in height and 25 centimetres in width, offering a substantial and balanced presence. The metal displays a deep, natural patina with visible oxidation, reflecting its considerable age and traditional craftsmanship. The statue remains in good condition, preserving its structural integrity and serene expression. The deep patina and visible wear are consistent with historic temple sculpture, adding to its authentic character. The back and underside retain clear evidence of manual casting and prolonged use. This powerful spiritual object serves as a characterful collector's piece for enthusiasts of Asian bronzes and Buddhist art. It brings a strong devotional presence to curated interiors, pairing well with both traditional and eclectic decor.
