This 11-inch bronze figure depicts a seated Buddha in a state of profound meditation, likely originating from the Thai or Burmese sculptural traditions of the late 19th to early 20th century. The figure is shown holding a ceremonial staff or scepter—a symbol of spiritual authority and the dispelling of ignorance. The "Verdigris" finish is a natural oxidation process of the bronze, indicating that this piece was likely kept in a temple courtyard or exposed to the elements, allowing it to develop its distinctive, vibrant sea-foam green patina over many decades. Cast using the traditional lost-wax method, the sculpture features intricate details in the crown and the multi-tiered ceremonial staff.
With a 7-inch width and 11-inch height, this Buddha is a perfect "soulful anchor" for a tabletop vignette. Its vibrant green tones make it a natural fit for a serene interior.
