Details: A rare example of 8th Century Sri Lankan Gilt Bronze Buddha in the Anuradhapura style. Sakyamuni is seated in virasana with both hands in dhyanamudra and is wearing a diaphanous cloak. He has a plump face holding a meditative expression with arched eyebrows, elongated earlobes and tightly curled hair. The Buddha has a strong and powerful looking body with delicately cast hands and feet. It is worth noting that Sri Lankan Bronze sculpture appears rather infrequently on the market due to its scarcity. Age: 8th Century Height: 9.5 cm Remarks: As can be seen in the above photos the Buddha has retained much of its original gilding. |
