Bronze Buddha on lotus base

Estimated value: €900 

Seated bronze Buddha statue from Nepal, crafted as a small devotional statue for domestic or religious use. The statue is hollow-cast using traditional techniques and stands on a simple lotus base. The design is understated and balanced, with a calm facial expression and a soberly executed robe.

The surface displays a natural, weathered patina that has developed evenly over the bronze. The underside is open and shows no later filling or modern interventions, consistent with traditional Nepalese casting practices. The combination of scale, technique, and finish aligns with the Newar tradition prevalent in Nepal during the 18th to 19th centuries.

An authentic bronze Buddha statue with evident age and a subdued appearance, suitable for collectors of Asian art or for a serene, contemplative setting.
