Product description
Ming-Style Gilt Bronze Buddha – China (c. 1930–1950) A refined and rare Chinese devotional object. This seated Buddha statue is crafted in bronze and finished with authentic fire-gilding, inspired by the iconic Yongle bronzes of the Ming Dynasty. Specifications Origin: China (Republic period) Dating: c. 1930–1950 Dimensions: Height: 42 cm | Width: 28 cm Weight: 6.4 kg Finish: Fire-Gilded (Mercury Gilded) with natural oxidation Expertise & Authenticity Features This statue displays superior craftsmanship with a serene facial expression and finely engraved edges on the robe. As documented in Ming-Style Gilt Bronze Buddha Statue 212 10 Medium.jpeg, the statue has a closed base plate on the underside with a deep, authentic oxidation. In the deeper parts of the base, clear mineral crystallization (natural salt deposits) is visible, which is irrefutable evidence of a decades-long aging process. On the reverse side is the apocryphal inscription "Made during the Yongle period of the Great Ming", applied as a traditional tribute to Ming craftsmanship. Symbolism & Placement by 1stBuddha Bhumisparsha Mudra – The Earth-Touching Gesture The Buddha is seated in the Bhumisparsha mudra, the earth-witness gesture, symbolizing the triumph over negativity and the attainment of enlightenment. The warm sheen of the fire-gilding and the solid 6.4 kg of bronze make this a powerful Feng Shui element that radiates spiritual authority and tranquility. A collectible piece that bridges Ming aesthetics and early 20th-century craftsmanship.
