Catalogue Note
Dimensions: H 52 × W 31.5 cm
Weight: 7.2 kg
Material: Bronze with surviving gilding
Estimated period: 16th–17th century
Origin: West Tibet / Mustang tradition, current attribution
Subject: Seated Buddha
A substantial Himalayan Buddha distinguished by a richly constructed throne with architectural panels and animal figures. Hand-finished lines around the eyes and ornament show careful cold-working after casting.
The bronze preserves deep brown, black and green patina together with remnants of gilding in protected zones. The West Tibetan / Mustang attribution and early date remain art-historical assessments rather than absolute conclusions.
Condition
Antique condition with extensive patina, gilt wear, oxidation, deposits and natural wear to the throne and figure.
