Explore antique and vintage seated Buddha statues for sale, selected for their sculptural character and regional traditions. A seated figure can express meditation, enlightenment or teaching through the arrangement of its hands and legs. This collection brings those differences into focus across cast bronze and carved wooden sculpture.
Begin with the hands. Bhumisparsha mudra shows the earth-touching gesture, while Dhyana places the hands in the lap for meditation. Other seated images use teaching gestures. Our mudra guide explains these distinctions. Compare the robes, facial features and pedestal of Thai and Burmese examples to see how regional workshops interpreted shared subjects.
Our team examines each sculpture through comparative study, microscopy and UV light. Casting or carving, patina, surviving finish, wear and repairs are assessed together to support its attribution and estimated age. The individual catalogue record provides the photographs, measurements and condition needed for an informed comparison.
For collectors, a seated Buddha offers both an artistic subject and a record of devotional craftsmanship. Browse the available pieces, compare their individual qualities and ask our specialists for advice. Object documentation, our authenticity guarantee and insured worldwide shipping support your purchase.
