Product description
Estimated value: €700 – €1,000. Nepalese Buddha seated on a lotus base and depicted with Abhaya mudra, the gesture of protection and reassurance. The sculpture is hollow-cast and made from a silver-colored copper alloy (white metal), not solid silver. Microscopic examination reveals natural oxidation and long-term wear, with visible remnants of original gilding in recessed and protected areas. This combination of white metal with partially worn gilding is characteristic of Nepalese production from the late 19th to early 20th century. The surface is free of modern coatings or restorations; UV examination shows only dust reaction. The robe is richly decorated with repetitive motifs, and the face is calmly and classically modeled. Authentic old devotional object for domestic worship. Nepal, approx. late 19th – early 20th century. Dimensions: height 28.3 cm, width 16.5 cm. Weight approx. 3 kg. Symbolism: The Abhaya Mudra This object is depicted with the Abhaya Mudra, the sacred gesture of protection. The raised right hand symbolizes the vanquishing of fear and the bestowing of spiritual peace. Discover the full meaning in our Mudra & Symbolism Guide →
