About the Item

A remarkable early Korean bronze Buddha, though this iconic style was occasionally emulated in later centuries. Careful examination of the wear, patina, underside, and casting technique strongly supports an early dating, attesting to its authenticity and historical significance. The figure is distinguished by its unforgettable face, particularly the uniquely treated eyes, which convey a serene yet penetrating spiritual presence. Evidence suggests that the Buddha originally featured a nimbus or backplate behind the head, enhancing its sacred aura. Measuring 5.25 inches high, 2 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep, and weighing 335 grams, this finely cast figure exemplifies the refined artistry and devotional purpose of early Korean Buddhist sculpture. A rare and museum-quality example, it combines technical mastery with profound spiritual expression.
