Product description
Estimated value: €3,000 – €5,000. This Tibetan bronze Buddha statue is a ritual object that derives its meaning from use, time, and history, rather than aesthetic perfection. The statue is cast in bronze and placed on a lotus throne, with clear signs of age and use visible. A missing hand and damage to the lotus are old breaks with rounded, co-patinated edges, indicating damage that is not recent but has become part of the aging process. The surface exhibits a deep, dry patina profile with multi-layered oxidation and mineral deposits, consistent with prolonged exposure and ritual use. The open underside reveals a rough sand-cast structure without signs of modern restoration or intervention. In the Tibetan context, such damage is often associated with periods of displacement, temple decay, or iconoclasm, without a specific historical event being attributable to this object. Precisely these traces transform the statue into a document of religious practice and historical rupture, positioning it closer to a museological study object than a decorative work of art. The statue thus represents an authentic fragment of Tibetan Buddhist heritage, where use, loss, and survival visibly converge.
