About the Item

This rare 16th century Chinese wooden Buddha statue is an exceptional example of Ming dynasty devotional sculpture, originating from China and distinguished by its historical authenticity and documented provenance. Carved in wood and standing 42.7 cm high, with dimensions of 28.6 cm wide and 21.7 cm deep, the figure possesses a dignified presence, further emphasized by its substantial weight of 3.75 kgs. The Buddha is shown in the Dhyana mudra, symbolizing meditation, inner balance, and spiritual awakening. Notably, the donor’s name is engraved on the back of the lotus base, offering valuable insight into its original patronage. The sculpture comes from an old German private collection assembled before 1989, and its 16th century dating is scientifically confirmed by radiocarbon C14 analysis, making this a highly desirable piece for collectors of authentic Chinese Buddhist art and museum-quality antiquities.
