As a result, the statue feels not only decorative but also symbolically charged.\n\nThe gilding, polychromy, and dark patina give the surface a great deal of character.

With a height of 59 cm, a width of 41 cm, and a weight of 15.4 kg, this statue immediately exudes the presence of an important altar or temple image.\n\nThe Buddha is seated in the classic Bhumisparsha Mudra, the gesture of touching the earth as a witness to enlightenment. Within Buddhism, this posture represents steadfastness, inner strength, and overcoming doubt.\n\nThe statue is crafted from a heavy copper alloy with clear traces of fire gilding. The warm gold tones in protected zones, the deep patina, and natural wear give the surface an impressive character. It is precisely this combination of gold, age, and use that makes the statue visually striking and spiritually charged.\n\nThe robes are richly adorned with hand-applied floral engravings and decorative details. The finish of the face, hands, and lotus base also displays the refinement characteristic of Nepalese Buddhist art.\n\nParticularly noteworthy are the old oxidation, mineral deposits, and traces of traditional lost-wax casting on the inside. Moreover, under UV light, organic remains are visible around protected zones and at the sealing of the base, consistent with long-term ritual use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA rare and impressive object for a serious collector, meditation room, gallery interior, or private collection where a single statue may fill the entire space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6a24;font-size:20px;margin-top:26px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eShakyamuni Buddha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eNepal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eProbably 18th–19th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eHeavy copper alloy with fire gilding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eTraditional lost-wax casting with manual engraving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eFire gilding, deep patina, sealed base, UV reaction, old oxidation and mineral deposits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e59 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e41 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e15.4 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57236808433995,"sku":"273","price":28745.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/antieke-boeddha-nepal-18e-eeuw.jpg?v=1778143458"},{"product_id":"messing-shakyamuni-boeddha-bhumisparsha-mudra-nepal-9-5-cm","title":"Brass Shakyamuni Buddha – Bhumisparsha Mudra – Nepal – 9.5 cm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNepalese Brass Shakyamuni Buddha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis detailed figurine of the Shakyamuni Buddha is crafted in Nepal, the heart of Buddhist craftsmanship.

This is not a decorative Buddha statue, but a heavy bronze object with the appearance of an ancient temple statue. The dark patina, silver-inlaid eyes, and monumental throne base immediately give the statue a quiet, powerful authority.\n\nThe Buddha sits in Bhumisparsha Mudra, the posture in which the earth is touched as a witness to enlightenment. This mudra represents steadfastness, inner strength, and overcoming doubt. It is precisely in combination with the dark temple patina that the statue acquires a very concentrated and spiritual appearance.\n\nThe silver-inlaid eyes are particularly noteworthy, a detail that lends the face great liveliness. The heavy eyelids, long earlobes, and restrained facial expression are consistent with an early Himalayan tradition featuring West Tibetan, Mustang, and Newar influences.\n\nThe throne base is richly decorated with lions, elephants, a central Atlas figure, and finely hand-engraved floral and tendril work. The back is also fully finished, which clearly elevates the piece above a standard decorative item.\n\nThe interior shows old casting core remnants, mineral oxidation, and traces of traditional lost-wax casting. Together with the weight of 10.6 kg, the deep patina, and the ritual appearance, this supports an early, pre-industrial placement within the Himalayan region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#8a6a24;font-size:20px;margin-top:26px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eBuddha in Bhumisparsha Mudra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eWest Tibet \/ Mustang \/ Himalayan region\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eProbably 16th–17th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eBronze with silver inlay eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eTraditional lost-wax casting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003eSilver eyes, narrative throne base, lions, elephants, Atlas figure, old casting core remnants and deep temple patina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e49.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px 0;\"\u003e39.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e10.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57442960408907,"sku":"588","price":29500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/himalaya-bronzen-boeddha-zilverogen-west-tibet-mustang.jpg?v=1779792002"},{"product_id":"tibetaans-vajrasattva-beeld-brons-himalaya-22-cm","title":"Tibetan Vajrasattva Statue Bronze Himalayan Two-tone Patina 22 cm","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; background-color:#ffffff; color:#222222; padding:40px; border:1px solid #d4af37; line-height:1.7; max-width:800px; margin:0 auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 style=\"color:#8a6d3b; font-size:26px; margin-bottom:10px; font-weight:normal; border-bottom:2px solid #f4ecd8; padding-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\nTibetan Vajrasattva Statue Bronze Himalayan Two-tone Patina 22 cm\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis heavy bronze Vajrasattva statue from the Himalayan tradition is a powerful spiritual object with a striking two-tone patina. The combination of gold-colored bronze, deep reddish-brown lacquer patina, and traces of green oxidation gives the statue a weathered, ritual appearance. With a height of 22 cm and a weight of 1.8 kg, it feels compact yet very solid.\n\n\nVajrasattva, also known as Dorje Sempa in Tibetan, is the Buddha of purification within Vajrayana Buddhism. His presence is associated with releasing negative energy, cleansing old karma, and restoring inner clarity. This makes the statue particularly suitable for an altar, meditation room, or interior where tranquility, protection, and spiritual focus are central.\n\nThe iconography is rich and recognizable. In his right hand, Vajrasattva holds the vajra, the diamond or lightning symbol that stands for indestructible power, compassion, and spiritual method. In his left hand rests the ghanta, the ritual bell that symbolizes wisdom, emptiness, and insight. Together, these attributes represent the balance between compassion and wisdom, a core idea within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe statue is decoratively elaborated all around with a high crown, graceful robes, floral ornaments, and a broad lotus base. The red patina layer gives the object visual depth, while the gold-colored accents on the face, hands, and attributes reinforce the ritual character. The reverse side shows clear green copper oxidation in the deeper zones, consistent with an older, copper-rich bronze object with natural aging.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis is not a flat decorative statue, but an object with a real presence. Due to its substantial weight, rich color contrasts, and spiritual significance, it is appealing to collectors of Himalayan art, enthusiasts of Tibetan Buddhism, and interiors where a powerful, symbolic focal point is desired. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a6d3b; font-size:20px; margin-top:35px; margin-bottom:15px; font-weight:normal;\"\u003e\nProduct details\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; font-size:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee; width:30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBronze Vajrasattva statue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eVajrasattva \/ Dorje Sempa with vajra and ghanta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHimalaya region, Tibetan Buddhist \/ Nepalese tradition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMid-20th century, ca. 1950–1970\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHeavy copper alloy \/ bronze with reddish-brown patina, gold-colored accents and polychrome remnants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeaning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePurification, protection, transformation, compassion, wisdom and inner clarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eH 22 x W 15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e1.8 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eGood authentic condition with patina, wear to the gilding, reddish-brown lacquer residue, green copper oxidation, and normal signs of age and use consistent with age and material.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57465160073547,"sku":"612","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/tibetaans-vajrasattva-beeld-brons-rode-patine.jpg?v=1780040617"},{"product_id":"vintage-messing-amitayus-laat-20e-eeuw-ca-1970-2000","title":"Vintage brass Amitayus — Late 20th century (c. 1970–2000)","description":"\u003c!-- Fysieke Dimensies \u0026 Status Badge --\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"buddha-product-dimensions-badge\" style=\"border: 1px solid #1a1a1a; padding: 15px 20px; margin-bottom: 30px; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 2px; color: #888888; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003ePhysical Dimensions \u0026amp; Status\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; color: #1a1a1a; letter-spacing: 0.5px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.8 cm  | \n    \u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5 cm  | \n    \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 800 grams\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Commerciële Productomschrijving --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis characteristic vintage Amitayus Buddha (18.8 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e is crafted in a refined Chinese-Nepalese export style and made from solid cast brass.
