Fire-gilded Bronze Buddha – Himalayas – 18th/19th Century – Lot 453

Estimated value: €3,200 – €4,200.

Fire-gilded bronze Buddha from the Himalayan region, executed in a classical meditation posture with the right hand in bhumisparsha mudra. The original mercury fire gilding is still visible in the folds and deeper zones, with natural wear on the upper parts. The harmonious proportions, refined lotus base, and gentle facial expression give the statue a powerful yet serene presence. This is not a decorative tourist item, but a traditionally crafted devotional sculpture with an authentic surface and convincing age. An impressive and spiritually strong object for serious collectors.
