16/17thC Korean Baby Buddha pointing to heaven and earth.

About the Item

16/17thC Korean Baby Buddha pointing to heaven and earth. It is dated to the 16C. Great condition only condition issue is the loss of one index finger, which is common for this form of baby Buddha. The size is quite substantial at 11.75" tall(4.13 lbs / 1.870kg ). He is standing on an extremely fine pad of lotus petals. In one of the photos below you will see a photo of 3 closely related pieces including this one. In one of the photos below, you will see this Buddha along with two others that are very closely related. All three come from the same time and place in history. They could even be from the same Workshop though they are different enough that I am not sure that this is the case. Things I've noticed that they all have in common include that they all have beautifully sculpted, cast, and finished faces. The bodies, which are all made of different alloys, are less detailed. The bodies of all three have a distinctive posture that greatly enhances their look. Korean antique Baby Buddha looks to be 16/17C or earlier. The actual statue is 10 inches tall. On its base, it stands 12 inches high.
