About the Item

An exceptional early Korean bronze Buddha, likely dating from the 10th–13th century, making it close to 1,000 years old or possibly earlier. This remarkably heavy figure, with its base filled with lead, exemplifies the strength and gravity of early Korean Buddhist sculpture. The arms and hands appear to have been intentionally modeled as folded within the robes, a stylistic choice rather than a loss, giving the figure a sense of calm introspection and unity. The piece stands 11.75 inches tall, 3.25 inches wide, and weighs 6.09 lbs, with a 1.5-inch base weighing 265g. Comparable examples of this age and size are virtually unknown outside the museums. A true rarity of historical and spiritual significance —worthy of the finest collection.
