Product description
Estimated value: €500 – €1,000 This 19th-century Chinese bronze Buddha statue depicts a seated Buddha in a meditative posture on an elaborately decorated base featuring two dragons. The Buddha is depicted with a full, relaxed physique and open hands resting on the knees, dressed in traditional monastic robes with the right chest partly visible. The base is decorated all around with dragons flanking a central emblem, a motif that symbolizes protection, power, and cosmic order in Chinese Buddhist art. The combination of Buddha and a dragon base is typical of Chinese depictions and clearly distinguishes this statue from South Asian or Southeast Asian Buddhas. The statue was traditionally cast in a copper alloy or bronze. The closed underside shows old core remnants and irregularities consistent with pre-industrial casting techniques. The dark patina and wear on protruding parts are consistent with natural aging and prolonged use. Origin: China Period: 19th century Material: Bronze or copper alloy Height: 22.8 cm Width: 16 cm Weight: 2.8 kg A powerful and distinctive Chinese Buddha statue with clear symbolism and an authentic appearance.
