About the Item

Unveil the meditative splendor of this Old bronze Nepali Buddha statue, a mid-20th-century masterpiece that harmonizes spiritual tranquility with the pinnacle of Himalayan craftsmanship. Cast in lustrous bronze and fire-gilded with 24-karat gold, this serene sculpture stands 35.5 cm high, with a 26.5 cm width and 17.4 cm depth, embodying the Buddha in the Dhyana mudra—a gesture of deep meditation symbolizing wisdom, inner peace, and the path to enlightenment. Originating from Nepal, a beacon of Buddhist artistry, this statue reflects the virtuosity of Newari artisans, whose ancestral lost-wax casting and fire-gilding techniques transformed metal into sacred forms. The statue’s luminous gold surface, softened by a time-honored patina, accentuates intricate details like the Buddha’s serene countenance, elongated earlobes, and monastic robes flowing in rhythmic folds, while the mudra’s poised hands rest in the lap, evoking the stillness of profound contemplation. Weighing 5.6 kgs, its substantial yet balanced form speaks to the meticulous alloy craftsmanship, ensuring durability while preserving delicate features such as the lotus throne (padmasana) and ushnisha (cranial protuberance). Created during a period of cultural preservation in mid-20th-century Nepal, this statue bridges ancient spiritual traditions and modernist reverence, likely gracing monasteries, altars, or private collections. Traces of ritual use—perhaps vermillion or incense remnants—add layers of devotional history. Ideal for collectors of Himalayan Buddhist art, meditation spaces, or heritage interiors, this gilded Dhyana Buddha transcends ornamentation, serving as a conduit to Nepal’s spiritual legacy. With museum-quality preservation and profound symbolism, it invites reverence for both the artisan’s skill and the timeless quest for enlightenment.
