Object Details
Catalogue Note
This late 20th-century bronze Buddha head is modelled as a freestanding sculpture, combining a serene expression with a deep, dark patina. Its compact height of 16 cm and substantial weight of 1.3 kg give it a strong presence in a cabinet or focused display.
Facial Modelling
The softly defined features include lowered eyes, a calm mouth and elongated earlobes. Closely arranged hair curls rise toward the ushnisha, creating a textured contrast with the smoother face and neck.
Surface and Patina
The bronze surface ranges from dark brown to near black, with lighter tonal variation on raised areas. The patina emphasises the curls and facial contours and gives the sculpture a mature, understated appearance.
