Product description
Estimated value: €1,500 – €1,900 A unique and instantly recognizable ritual image, in which multiple elements come together that are rarely found complete anymore. This seated Amitabha Buddha is made of bronze and partially fire-gilded, with clear wear consistent with long-term use in a religious context. What distinguishes this piece is the combination of the original, cast-in-place stupa in the hand and the present crystal orb, which together refer to meditation, enlightenment, and ritual offering. The gilding shows natural aging: on the protruding parts, the gold has partially disappeared, while it remains visible in the deeper-lying zones. This pattern is not artificial but results from centuries of touching, cleaning, and use. The dark zones on the body and face show a stable, old patina with subtle color differences and light oxidation points. Technically, the sculpture is also sound: the underside shows an old, open structure with natural oxidation and no modern seal. The proportions, the gentle facial expression, and the manner in which the drapery lines are applied are consistent with Himalayan workshops, likely Nepal or the immediate region. An important detail is that the stupa is not a separate addition, but an integral part of the casting process. This makes it not a decorative object, but a deliberately assembled ritual image. In combination with the crystal, this indicates use within a meditative or ceremonial setting. This is not a standard Buddha, but an object with substance, traces of use, and a clear spiritual function — precisely the type of piece collectors seek when they want something with character and a story.
