Product description
Sacred Masterpiece: Gilded Chinese Cast Iron Buddha This rare Chinese Buddha statue from the late Qing Dynasty (18th/19th century) is an impressive example of sacred iron casting art. The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the moment he calls the earth to witness his enlightenment. The combination of the heavy, robust cast iron and the refined, aged gilding gives this object an exceptional spiritual presence. Forensic Audit & Technical Analysis At 1stbuddha, we believe in transparency through scientific research. This object has been extensively examined: * **Internal Mineralization:** Endoscopic examination of the hollow interior reveals deep crystallization and mineral deposits that only occur through a natural aging process of more than a century and a half. * **Authentic Casting Core:** Remains of the original mineral casting core are visible on the historical fracture surfaces, which rules out modern reproductions. * **Gilding:** The original gilding shows characteristic wear (rubbing) on the knees and chest, consistent with its age and ritual use. Specifications & Condition * **Material:** Cast iron with historical gilding * **Dating:** 18th - 19th Century (Qing Dynasty) * **Condition:** Good historical condition; authentic break at the hand reveals the internal structure (see detailed photos). "An honest and powerful object. The visible internal oxidation is the 'fingerprint' of history and offers the collector the ultimate guarantee of authenticity." **Dimensions:** H 44 × W 32 cm Additional details: - Brand: 1stbuddha - Style: Chinees - Material: Vergulding - Colour: Goud - Period: 18e - 19e Eeuw - availability: in_stock - product_type: Beeld / sculptuur
