Chinese Buddha Statues

Discover Chinese Buddha statues and Buddhist sculpture selected for material, iconography, craftsmanship and period character. Chinese Buddhist art developed across many dynasties and regions, drawing on Indian, Central Asian and indigenous sculptural traditions while creating distinctive local forms in bronze, wood, stone and lacquer.

This collection may include Shakyamuni, Amitabha, Medicine Buddha and other Buddhist figures, together with related sculpture showing Chinese or Sino-Tibetan influence. Important details can include robe pattern, facial modelling, lotus-base design, casting method, gilding, lacquer, inscriptions and the treatment of the ushnisha and hair.

Antique Chinese Buddha statues for collectors

Older Chinese Buddhist sculpture varies enormously in quality and date, so attribution should be based on several features together rather than one visual cue. Surface wear, patina, construction, carving or casting technique and stylistic comparison all matter when assessing an individual piece.
