Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition Height: 58.5 cm | Width: 16.0 cm | Weight: 3.0 kg This impressive Javanese Buddha statue (58.5 cm) is crafted in the characteristic Majapahit Revival style, combining ancient Buddhist symbolism with refined traditional craftsmanship. Its slender, elegant proportions and the rare Double Vitarka Mudra make this sculpture particularly unique within Javanese sculpture. Traces of original gold leaf decoration (prada) and a naturally formed malachite patina enhance the sculpture's historical character. Thanks to its monumental height, this statue forms a powerful spiritual centerpiece in a meditation room, reception area, or refined interior. The Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this statue is essential Acquiring this Javanese Buddha brings an ancient tradition of wisdom, protection, and inner harmony into your living environment: Double Vitarka Mudra: Both hands form the rare Vitarka hand gesture, which symbolizes the transmission of spiritual knowledge, philosophical insight, and the continuous dialogue between teacher and student. Protection & Wisdom: Within the Javanese Buddhist tradition, this posture symbolizes not only teaching but also the protection of the spiritual path and the preservation of inner balance. Majapahit Heritage: The elegant body forms and subdued expression align with the classical aesthetic of the historical Majapahit Empire, where harmony, spirituality, and refinement were central. Spiritual Centerpiece: Due to its monumental size and serene appearance, the statue creates an atmosphere of tranquility, contemplation, and balance within any space. Material & Conservation Analysis Authentic Patina: The surface shows a naturally formed dendritic malachite patina and microscopic traces of original prada (gold leaf), consistent with a long historical development. Original Core: The internal core consists of traditional volcanic ash clay, a material characteristic of historical Javanese sculptures. Professional Conservation: An older structural fracture was expertly stabilized in the past with modern conservation resin. This intervention contributes to structural stability and is recognizable as a restoration under UV light. Transparent Restoration: The conservation was carried out with respect for the historical object and ensures the preservation of the sculpture for future generations without obscuring its original artistic value.
