Old Japanese XL bronze seated Buddha in Kamakura style

Estimated value: €2,500 – €3,500

This large Japanese seated Buddha is cast in bronze and executed in a sober Kamakura style. The statue measures 51 cm high and 47 cm wide and weighs no less than 18.4 kg, which immediately underscores the massive quality and traditional casting. Due to its size and weight, this is clearly an XL temple statue and not a lightweight decorative object.

The Buddha is depicted in a meditation posture with the hands in dhyana mudra. The design is restrained and powerful, with broad shoulders, a calm facial expression, and heavy drapery. The asymmetry in details and the open, roughly cast base indicate handcrafted bronze work and rule out modern mass production.

The surface displays a natural, weathered patina befitting an older object. The combination of size, weight, and style makes this statue highly suitable as a statement piece in an interior, meditation room, or as a collector's item for lovers of Japanese and Buddhist art.

An impressive old Japanese bronze Buddha with a strong presence and timeless appeal.
