Object Details
Catalogue Note
This vintage Chinese bronze Buddha is seated in Dhyana Mudra, the gesture of meditation, with both hands resting quietly in the lap. Although only 8.8 cm high, the sculpture weighs 1.1 kg and has a notably substantial presence for its compact size.
Form and Iconography
The cross-legged pose is balanced and symmetrical. Elongated earlobes, a composed expression and the calm placement of the hands create a focused devotional image suited to a cabinet, desk or personal meditation space.
Material and Surface
The bronze has developed a naturally aged patina with subtle tonal variation across the face, robe and raised areas. The restrained modelling and smooth, time-worn surface give the figure a quiet character without distracting from the meditative pose.
