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.

15th Century Japanese Bronze Baby Buddha, Large, Refined and Graceful-Special!
Located in Ukiah, CA
Baby Buddha- represents the Buddha right after his birth pointing toward Heaven and Earth so they can witness his first steps. Twenty years ago I had a near identical Japanese Baby Buddha. This one has a finer patina and may be more finely cast, but is extremely similar in almost every way. It was made in the same workshop, probably by the same hand. Fortunately, the other one had an inscription on it (this one does not, but is almost certainly the same age as the other one plus or minus 30 years). The woman I mentored at the time was able to read Japanese- she translated the year to late 15th century Japan...
