Catalogue Note

Weight: 1.0 kg
Material: Hollow-cast bronze
Estimated period: 18th century
Style / attribution: Mongolian / Zanabazar inspired
Subject: Seated Buddha
Gesture: Shramana-type devotional gesture
A compact bronze Buddha with elegant North Asian proportions and a distinctive gesture held before the torso. The figure has traditionally been catalogued in relation to Mongolian and Zanabazar-influenced Buddhist sculpture.
Construction & Attribution
The underside is open and retains old core material and casting residue. Interior oxidation and wear to the base ring are consistent with age and use. An earlier catalogue record attributes the sculpture to the 18th century within the Mongolian/Zanabazar tradition. Because no inscription or documented provenance currently secures a specific workshop, the date is presented here as an estimated attribution rather than an absolute manufacture date.
Condition
Antique condition with naturally varied patina, surface wear and retained material inside the casting. We intentionally use Mongolian-style in the title to distinguish stylistic attribution from proven geographical provenance.
