Offered by Conservatoire Sakura
Buddha in bronze cast with lost wax and gilded with mercury. The walls are very thick, the statuette is heavy. The gilding is original, certainly baked several times to obtain a nice thickness. The reverse of the dress is chiseled with stylized flowers. The base is closed by an incised copper plate of Vajra. The base does not appear to have been opened. The two arm bracelets were originally to have stone beads, today replaced by a colored coating. In the palm of the hand, we can see a hole left by the loss of the vase. Gilding slightly worn in rare places visible in photos.
Otherwise good condition. No welding or restoration.
The bronze has not been cleaned. Height 187mm.
