Product description
Estimated value: €4,500 – €7,000. This Nepalese Buddha statue is a classic example of Newar work from the Kathmandu Valley. The Buddha sits in bhumisparsha mudra, with the right hand pointing to the earth and a begging bowl in the left hand. This detail is often seen in Nepalese statues and immediately gives the sculpture a recognizable character. The form is calm and balanced, without being heavy or massive. The face is softly modeled, with half-closed eyes and a serene expression. The hair consists of small, uniform curls with a distinct topknot. The double lotus throne is tall and carefully elaborated, with a clear separation between the upper and lower lotuses. The statue is hollow-cast in a copper-rich bronze alloy and was originally fire-gilded. Traces of this are still visible, especially in areas that have been less touched. The exterior has since developed a warm, natural patina. The open underside reveals a rough internal structure with mineral deposits, consistent with its age and long-term religious use. In terms of style, finish, and iconography, this statue originates from Nepal, dated to the 18th to early 19th century. Not an ostentatious piece, but a calm, well-made sculpture with clear provenance and a credible history.
