Product description
Estimated value: €12,000 – €18,000. Antique fire-gilded bronze Buddha statue from Tibet, dated to the 17th–18th century. The Buddha is depicted seated on a double lotus base, performing the teaching gesture, Vitarka mudra. The statue is traditionally hollow cast and executed with original fire gilding (mercury gilding) in high-karat gold, with clear remnants visible over the entire surface and along the inner edge of the underside. The gilding shows natural wear on raised areas and retains gold residue in recessed zones, consistent with prolonged ritual aging. The combination of size, weight, and fire gilding is characteristic of Tibetan religious statues from this period. Dimensions approximately H 40 cm x W 23.4 cm, weight approximately 5.8 kg. An authentic Buddhist statue with clear art-historical and material value, offered at a significantly lower selling price.
