Product description
Estimated value: €680,000 – €750,000. This early Chinese bronze Buddha statue belongs to an exceptional category within Buddhist art and is presented online as a technically researched masterpiece. The statue exhibits a serene, powerful aura with refined proportions, subtly modeled hands, and a distinctive facial expression characteristic of early Ming Dynasty sculpture. Weighing almost nine kilograms and standing approximately 46 cm high, it possesses a strong physical presence that immediately stands out. Extensive technical inspection of the base, surface, and internal structure reveals a fully enclosed bottom, natural multi-layered patina, and remnants of original fire gilding in protected areas. The casting structure and the behavior of the corrosion indicate a pre-industrial lost-wax technique. The six-character Yongle mark is integrally cast and shows the same aging as the surrounding bronze, which is consistent with an early Chinese production context. This piece is presented not only as an art object but also as an example of in-depth research and documentation. It forms an important reference point within the collection and underscores the focus on authenticity, analysis, and historical insight. An exceptional object that radiates both spiritual tranquility and historical depth. Dimensions: H 46 cm — Weight: approx. 8.9 kg.
