This large antique bronze Mandalay Burmese seated Buddha dates from the 19th century. The sculpture is rendered in a dark brown finish with subtle reddish undertones visible on the lower garments and base. The figure sits in the earth-touching bhumisparsha mudra with the right hand lowered over the knee and the left hand resting in the lap, dressed in a draped monastic robe with fine linear folds. Distinctive details include an ushnisha protuberance atop the head, a prominent forehead band, and elongated earlobes. The Buddha is positioned atop a low, tiered plinth decorated with carved scrollwork and lotus motifs along the base. Measuring 56 cm high by 44.5 cm wide, the piece serves as a striking decorative element for display upon a sideboard top within a gentleman's library or a living space.

FAQs

Originating in 19th-century Myanmar, the Mandalay style is distinguished by naturalistic facial features, a distinct band across the forehead, tightly curled hair topped with an ushnisha, and flowing, softly draped monastic robes.

These figures were traditionally cast in bronze using the lost-wax (cire perdue) process, resulting in hollow-cast metal statues that were often finished with cold-working, patination, or gilding.

Authentic pieces feature stylistic traits such as the wide headband, fluid drapery folds, natural casting imperfections, expected base wear, and an unpolished patina resulting from age and handling.

A bronze Buddha functions well as a serene focal point on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table, pairing naturally with natural timber, stone surfaces, and minimalist decorative schemes.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or polishers, and maintain a stable indoor environment to protect the natural surface oxidisation.
