About the Item

Fine Indian Bronze Buddha, Classic Pala-Style Lineage, 18th/19th Century or Earlier A very beautiful Indian bronze Buddha rendered in a classic devotional form rooted in sculptural traditions dating back over a thousand years. This refined figure, standing 6.25 inches tall (8.25 inches including its custom display stand), is cast in high relief against an elaborately worked mandorla filled with stylized foliage, celestial motifs, and protective guardians. The Buddha sits in serene meditation with hands in dharmachakra mudra, symbolizing the turning of the Wheel of Dharma, while the base is adorned with a procession of miniature devotees and ritual figures—an iconic feature of early northern Indian Buddhist bronzes. The casting is crisp and well executed, with gracefully modeled proportions, elegant contours, and a warm reddish-brown surface enriched by natural age and patina. Though conservatively dated to the 18th/19th century, the overall style, iconography, and visual language strongly echo earlier Pala-period bronzes, suggesting the possibility of an older origin. A highly appealing and beautifully detailed example of Indian Buddhist metalwork, distinguished by its classic form, devotional presence, and excellent state of preservation.
