AUCTION DESCRIPTION:

Historical classification
This finely crafted bronze figure comes from Tibet and belongs to the Sino-Tibetan stylistic circle. It combines Tibetan Buddhist iconography with the highly developed Chinese bronze-casting tradition of this era.

Iconography & design:
Depicts Shakyamuni Buddha in the classic Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture at the moment of enlightenment. The figure sits on a double-stepped lotus throne, a central symbol of Buddhist purity.
The garment design is finely modeled and throughout the surface decorated with floral ornaments. The careful craftsmanship continues on the reverse, indicating high-quality workshop work.
The face is calm and meditative, with balanced proportions and a clearly contemplative aura.

Material & Technique:
The figure was produced in the traditional lost-wax casting process as a solid bronze sculpture.
The surface shows a deep, organically grown age patina, giving the object a calm material depth. The weight of about 2.1 kg at a height of 25 cm indicates a particularly massive casting.
Inside, remnants of the traditional core (clay/soot mixture) are visible, as is common in classical historical bronze casting processes.

Dimensions
Height: approx. 25 cm
Base width: approx. 13.5 cm
Weight: approx. 2,105 g

Condition:
Very good, collectors-worthy condition with authentic, naturally grown patina. No signs of modern revisions or sealants. The original character of the casting is fully preserved.
Overall impression
A harmoniously proportioned and expressive representation of Shakyamuni Buddha in the Sino-Tibetan tradition. The combination of calm presence, fine ornamentation, and massive bronze casting gives the figure a strong collector and aesthetic impact.
