This is a finely crafted antique polychrome bronze sculpture of Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. The figure is depicted seated in the lotus position (padmasana) upon a double-lotus base, with hands resting in the lap in the dhyana mudra (meditation gesture), holding a small vessel. He has a serene, gilded face with downcast eyes and a prominent ushnisha (cranial bump) covered in tight, dark curls. The body is draped in flowing robes accented with vibrant blue, red, and silver-toned details, and features intricate, engraved dragon and cloud motifs, particularly visible on the back. The base is decorated with colorful lotus petals in red and green, set against a gilt bronze background. The sculpture is extensively gilded, retaining a bright, warm gold luster with a natural, aged patina in the recesses.
