Product description
Estimated value: €3,200 – €4,600 This bronze Buddha depicts Shakyamuni in Dhyana mudra, seated in a meditative posture with a patra (alms bowl) in both hands. The sculpture is soberly and powerfully modeled, with a serene facial expression, elongated earlobes, and a simply rendered monk's robe. The sculpture is hollow-cast using the traditional lost-wax technique. The underside was originally closed and has been broken open in the past, revealing remnants of the original earthen core. The interior shows natural multi-layered corrosion and mineral deposits, consistent with prolonged age and ritual use. No modern materials or later interventions are present. In protected areas, particularly around the eyes and in deeper details, remnants of original fire gilding are visible. Prominent parts such as the shoulders, hair, and face show smooth wear from prolonged devotional touching. The overall appearance indicates an authentic 17th-century Himalayan temple sculpture, produced in a regional Northwest-Himalayan workshop. Dimensions: approx. 23.8 × 19 cm Weight: approx. 2.4 kg Material: bronze with residual gilding Dating: 17th century
