Large Gilt Bronze Buddha Young Shakyimuni Buddha

The magnificent 31 lb bronze Buddha statue, crafted in the Ming dynasty style, captivates with its timeless beauty and serene presence. Depicting a young Shakyamuni, the statue exudes tranquility with downcast eyes beneath high arched brows and long earlobes. The intricately coiled hair and the detailed features contribute to a sense of spiritual grace. Seated in padmasana on a double lotus throne, Buddha holds a pagoda in the left hand, symbolizing spiritual knowledge, while the right hand is open-palmed, signifying acceptance and compassion. The fluid folds of the robe gracefully cover the body, revealing the right shoulder and feet. Adorned with a necklace and arm brace, the statue features beautiful gilding throughout, complemented by the original cold-painted red patina. This substantial and finely crafted piece not only holds high collectible value but also serves as a symbol of devotion, meditation, and religious reverence. Its exquisite artistry makes it a splendid addition to any interior design setting, reflecting both aesthetic refinement and spiritual significance.
