Product description
Antique Fire-Gilded Bronze Buddha (Burma) This exceptional bronze sculpture from the late 18th or early 19th century is a testament to classical Burmese metalwork. Following an in-depth technical analysis of the gilding and wear patterns, our expert confirms that this sculpture features authentic fire-gilding. The fragmented gold remnants and natural wear on the contact points confirm decades of devotional use in a temple setting. Technical Expertise & Iconography Gilding: Historic fire-gilding with characteristic irregular transitions and deep adherence within the bronze structure. Finish: Artisanal manual finishing marks that underscore its pre-industrial origin. No modern machine patterns present. Iconography: Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, seated on a richly decorated double lotus throne. Material: Heavy, antique bronze with natural, layered oxidation and traces of historical casting core remnants. An authentic antique piece with a powerful spiritual aura and a technically superior gilding technique. A valuable acquisition for the advanced collector. Dimensions H 16.5 × W 11.2 cm
