With a height of 28 cm and an exceptional weight of 4.2 kg, this is a strikingly heavy and thick-walled cast statue with a strong historical presence.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe statue is crafted from a heavy copper alloy \/ bronze and stylistically fits within the Himalayan and Tibetan-Nepalese Buddhist tradition. The seated posture, the raised lotus pedestal, and the central stupa attribute give the object a powerful spiritual significance. Within Buddhism, a stupa symbolizes enlightenment, protection, remembrance, and the presence of the teachings.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe old dark patina, reddish-brown metallic tones, localized oxidation, and visible wear give the statue a great deal of character. In particular, the combination of the heavy material, the thick-walled casting, and the rough interior makes it clear that this is not a lightweight modern decorative reproduction, but a serious old bronze statue with a distinct presence.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nOld scratched or cast markings are visible on the inside. Additionally, the interior displays natural dark oxidation, local greenish-blue copper salts, and a rough cast structure. These details enhance the impression of age and make the statue interesting to collectors of Himalayan, Tibetan-Nepalese, and Buddhist art.\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nBased on the style, weight, casting structure, patina, and internal markings, this statue is dated to the 19th century. It is a powerful object for an altar, meditation room, interior, or collection of Asian art. \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;\"\u003eHeavy bronze Buddha 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;\"\u003eSitting Buddha with stupa \/ pagoda attribute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eHimalaya \/ Tibetan-Nepalese style\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;\"\u003e19th century\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 dark patina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px; border-bottom:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eThick-walled casting, old internal oxidation and visible scratched or cast marks on the inside\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 28 x W 18 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;\"\u003e4.2 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 old condition with patina, oxidation, wear, and visible signs of age consistent with material and use.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57460110164299,"sku":"609","price":1475.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/19e-eeuwse-bronzen-boeddha-met-stupa-himalaya-stijl.jpg?v=1779977200","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/19th-century-heavy-bronze-buddha-with-stupa-himalaya-style-28-cm","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
