About the Item

An extraordinary 19th-century Korean bronze Baby Buddha, depicted in the rare “pointing to heaven and earth” pose, symbolizing his first steps and witnessing the world—a motif found only in China, Japan, and Korea. This is the largest bronze Baby Buddha the collector has encountered, standing an impressive 22.5 inches tall and measuring 7 inches in width and depth, with a substantial weight of 27.55 lbs (12.495 kg). The figure is finely and crisply cast, with a robust form and attractive dark patina, possibly applied, highlighting the delicate modeling of the face and body, which strongly reflects Korean stylistic characteristics. A truly remarkable and unusual example, combining monumental scale, technical excellence, and symbolic significance, this piece is a museum-quality, highly rare representation of Buddhist art from East Asia.

15th Century Japanese Bronze Baby Buddha, Large, Refined and Graceful-Special!
Located in Ukiah, CA
Baby Buddha- represents the Buddha right after his birth pointing toward Heaven and Earth so they can witness his first steps. Twenty years ago I had a near identical Japanese Baby Buddha. This one has a finer patina and may be more finely cast, but is extremely similar in almost every way. It was made in the same workshop, probably by the same hand. Fortunately, the other one had an inscription on it (this one does not, but is almost certainly the same age as the other one plus or minus 30 years). The woman I mentored at the time was able to read Japanese- she translated the year to late 15th century Japan...
