Object Details

Catalogue Note

Dimensions: H 27 × W 25 cm
Weight: 3.4 kg
Material: Cast bronze with gilding and polychrome details
Style: Nepalese / Tibetan-inspired Himalayan
Period: Circa 1970–2000

A substantial Buddhist Arhat or enlightened disciple seated on an expressive animal mount. The calm figure contrasts with the animated creature below, creating a dynamic composition characteristic of later Himalayan workshop sculpture.

The bronze retains gilt and polychrome decoration with darker patina in recessed areas. It is transparently presented as a later 20th-century work inspired by older Himalayan Buddhist traditions.

Condition

Good vintage condition with gilt wear, patina and surviving polychrome details.

Iconography and Context

The figure belongs to the wider visual culture of Asian Buddhist devotion, where posture, attributes and ornament communicate identity and ritual purpose. The complete photographic sequence helps these iconographic details remain readable from every side.

Condition and Display

Surviving gilding, darker recessed areas and wear on raised details create a layered surface. The 16 photographs document the remaining finish, patina, casting and base from multiple viewpoints.
