About the Item

A serene and evocative seated Vietnamese Buddha sculpture. Expertly hand-carved from wood, this statue captures the timeless grace and spiritual depth of Buddhist iconography. The Buddha is depicted in Dhyana Mudra, the gesture of meditation, with both hands resting in the lap — symbolizing inner peace, balance, and enlightenment. The figure is adorned in flowing robes with delicately rendered folds, indicative of the refined craftsmanship of Edo-era artisans. The surface retains remnants of its original lacquer and traces of red pigment, along with subtle gilding that has gracefully aged over centuries. A timeworn patina and visible wear, including an expressive facial crack, only enhance the sculpture’s spiritual and historical presence.
