This serene figure is depicted seated in the lotus position, with one hand raised in the Abhaya mudra (gesture of protection and reassurance) and the other resting in the Dhyana mudra (gesture of meditation). The surface retains a warm, time-worn gilded finish with natural cracks, separations, and age-related wear consistent with its scale, material, and age. Despite these visible fissures, the sculpture remains structurally sound and visually powerful, radiating both presence and spiritual calm. This large-scale Buddha would make a commanding statement in a collector’s interior, meditation space, or gallery setting. See less

Additional separations are present along the shoulders, arms, and feet. These appear consistent with the natural movement of large, solid wood over time. Feet & Base: Both feet show significant cracking, with one split running across the toes and down into the base. The base exhibits long fissures following the carved folds. Torso & Chest: Vertical cracks extend from the chest down through the abdomen, with branching separations across the drapery folds. Surface & Finish: The gilded finish displays areas of wear, rubbing, and patina, with darker tones where the gilding has thinned. Some areas show natural oxidation and discoloration consistent with age. Stability: Despite the visible separations, the structure remains sound. Cracks appear stable and do not compromise the overall integrity of the piece. Overall Presentation: The wear and fissures enhance the statue’s authenticity, giving it a dramatic presence and a strong sense of age. less
