Catalogue Note

A naturally aged patina and visible wear across the bronze surface record the sculpture's age and ritual history without diminishing its strong, serene character.
Iconography and Context
Dhyana Mudra places both hands in the lap and expresses concentration, balance and meditative absorption. Its symmetry reinforces the sculpture’s calm, inward-looking presence.
Condition and Display
The bronze with naturally aged patina surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 16 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
Collector’s Note
A 17th–18th century burmese bronze buddha with balanced display presence, combining its myanmar (burma) bronze with naturally aged patina character with clearly readable sculptural detail.
