£500.00Price
Quantity

A finely cast antique Tibetan gilt bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, seated in serene meditation upon a traditional lotus throne. Sculpted in the classic Himalayan Buddhist style, the figure displays calm, balanced proportions and refined devotional detail typical of temple bronzes produced for personal shrines and monasteries.

 

The Buddha is shown in Bhumisparsha Mudra (earth-touching gesture), symbolising the moment of enlightenment when Shakyamuni called the earth to witness his awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. The right hand rests gracefully over the knee while the left hand sits in the lap in meditation. The figure wears flowing monastic robes that fall naturally across the torso, revealing delicate engraved patterns and traces of original gilding.

 

The head features tightly arranged traditional spiral curls and a prominent ushnisha, representing spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. The peaceful facial expression, elongated earlobes and gentle posture create the sense of calm contemplation characteristic of Tibetan Buddhist sculpture.

The statue sits upon a decorative double lotus base, symbolising purity and spiritual awakening rising above the material world.

 

The aged patina, worn gilt highlights and natural surface variation enhance the sculpture’s authenticity and visual depth, making it an appealing piece for collectors of Himalayan art, Buddhist artefacts or antique temple bronzes. A beautiful and contemplative object suitable for display in a collection, interior setting or meditation space.

 

Condition: Vintage condition with age-related wear as photographed.

 

Dimensions: 50 cm (19.7") high x 40 cm (15.7") wide x 27 cm (10.6") deep
