$1,415.00
| /

This serene antique gilded Buddha is a testament to time and devotion. Likely originating from Southeast Asia (Thai or Burmese) and dating to the late 19th century, this sculpture captures the Buddha in a deep meditative posture. The piece's story is etched into its surface: the once-brilliant gold gilding has largely worn away from the wooden body, revealing the raw material beneath, while significant portions remain on the base, creating a powerful contrast between past glory and the present. Originally a devotional statue for a home shrine or temple, its quiet power has endured for over a century. Measuring 13 inches high, this sculpture serves as a stunning accent piece for a console table, a unique anchor for a bookshelf, or a focal point in a meditation space, blending its timeless spiritual message with elegant, aged beauty
