Spiritual Heritage
Inner Silence
This massive bronze statue embodies the ultimate state of meditation. Seated in the Dhyana Mudra, with both hands resting in the lap, this object serves as a powerful anchor point for inner peace and focus. The robe displays the tight, parallel folds over the left shoulder that are characteristic of the Rattanakosin period. Where the mind often wanders into chaos, the imperturbable serenity of this Buddha reminds us of the power of silence and reflection.

Curator Analysis
This heavy bronze casting exhibits an authentic, natural patina. Contrary to earlier erroneous documentation regarding a closed base, the open base clearly shows the original, raw mineral casting core. This is crucial evidence of the traditional lost-wax method and its great age. Absolutely no modern synthetic coatings or restorations were found. A powerful and unpretentious collector's item.
Each object is examined before it is offered: material, casting or carving technique, surface, and signs of age are compared with documented references. You will receive a certificate of authenticity and an official invoice detailing the period, material, and available provenance.
Fully insured worldwide shipping in museum-quality packaging. Returns are sent to our Dutch address and you have a 14-day cooling-off period.
Read the shipping policy and the refund policy.
Pay securely at checkout with credit card, Klarna, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The certificate of authenticity and the invoice are included in the price.
