Bronze Avalokiteshvara / Padmapani Statue – Javanese Buddhist Style

Bronze Avalokiteshvara Padmapani with Lotus

Estimated value: € 2,500 – € 6,000

This refined bronze statue likely depicts Avalokiteshvara Padmapani, the lotus-bearing Bodhisattva of compassion. The lotus beside the shoulder, the high crown, the halo, and the calm, meditative posture are more consistent with Padmapani than with Tara. In Buddhism, Avalokiteshvara symbolizes compassion, protection, and spiritual guidance. As a result, this statue is not only a decorative art object but also a powerful symbol of peace, harmony, and inner balance. The statue has a dark, deeply developed patina with visible remnants of older gilding. The openwork halo, lotus base, jewelry, and crown are meticulously crafted and give the statue a strong classical appearance.

Due to the combination of Javanese Buddhist style, refined details, and spiritual symbolism, this is a special object for lovers of Asian art, Buddhist sculptures, and collectible bronze statues.
