This large nineteenth-century sculpture is an Asian art piece rendered in bronze with an aged bronze colour finish. The cast bronze bust depicts a Buddha with downcast eyes, stylized hair curls, an ushnisha topknot, elongated earlobes, and draped robes. Visual inspection reveals an aged metallic patina with darker mottled areas, distinct cast fold lines in the garments, and a prominent urna mark on the forehead. The sculpture measures 42 cm high, 39.5 cm wide, and 15.2 cm deep. Placement suits a sideboard top within a gentleman's library or a living space. The heavy metallic construction and serene posture provide a grounding presence suitable for interior display on flat surfaces. The sculpture stands independently without requiring additional fixtures, bringing a traditional decorative quality to domestic interiors.

FAQs

Bronze Buddha sculptures have been produced across Asian regions for centuries to represent spiritual enlightenment, featuring traditional stylized iconography influenced by regional stylistic movements.

Most bronze Buddha figures were produced using lost-wax casting techniques before being finished with hand-chiselled detailing and natural chemical patination.

Authentic cast pieces often display evidence of hand-chased surface details, core material inside hollow areas, and subtle variations in surface oxidisation.

Positioning the sculpture on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or console unit introduces structural focal points and tactile metal surface texture into a contemporary room scheme.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoiding chemical solvents or metal polishes that can strip the protective patina.
