Late 19th Century Chinese Gold Fleck Cast Bronze Figure of Buddha

About the Item

This work cast in bronze with a gold fleck finish to the clothing was made in the last quarter of the 19th century. The patina and color of the figure has lovely rub through and sits well on the old handmade base that has been with the figure a long time. The robes are worked with the gold fleck accents but are also engraved and chased with punch work creating a very nice personal devotional object. The figure's face and countenance are serene and pleasing to contemplate. Both hands are cast and attached separately giving depth and a well-rounded attention to detail.

Located in Hudson, NY
The charming figure done completely in the lost wax method is in a primitive naive style. The male figure is dancing excitedly on a rocky outcrop.

Located in Hudson, NY
This fine old bronze of Tara was made for the purpose of focusing on the process of meditation regarding her aspects of wisdom and compassion. Crafted in Tibet but nearer to India and its influences this figure is an interesting combination of Hindu and Buddhist art and religion. Originally Tara was conceived as a Hindu mother goddess with the spread of Buddhism she was redesigned sometime after 4th century giving her a new role within the spreading Buddhist religion. This seems to have taken place in Shri Lanka and then spread out and back into India and Tibet thru China. At this time Shri Lanka was a great trading center and was host to many religious aspects, sects and ideals. The figure is cast with many fine details and is patinated in a warm green, brown showing traces of a coppery red color.
