Expertise & Condition

This statue is a beautiful example of the Sino-Tibetan metal tradition. What makes this piece unique is the tactile high relief of the floral motifs on the robe, a detail that points to a carefully hand-worked wax model. The object is in excellent condition with a natural patina on the hair curls and a fully sealed base plate, indicating a traditional initiation (consecration).

Symbolism

The border of the robe features the 'Wan' symbol, which in Buddhist art stands for infinite happiness and the footsteps of the enlightened. At 1stBuddha we appreciate the combination of spiritual power and technical mastery; this statue is not only a decorative object, but a powerful symbol of inner peace.


Frequently asked questions about this Buddha statue

What is the meaning of the Dhyana Mudra?

The Dhyana Mudra, in which the hands rest in the lap, symbolizes the absolute balance between thought and tranquility. It reminds the viewer of the path to enlightenment through concentration and meditation.

What does a sealed or "animated" base mean?

A sealed base means that the statue was cast hollow and then filled with sacred objects such as mantras and herbs. The statue "experiences" this ritual, transforming it from an art object into a spiritual instrument.

Why are the details on this statue so sharp?

This statue bears witness to high-quality Sino-Tibetan craftsmanship. The flowers and geometric borders are not simply engraved, but cast in as relief. This requires a complex mold and a skilled finish that is typical of the 1stBuddha collection.
