Antique Himalayan Shakyamuni Buddha with Halo – 17th–18th Century – Lot 406

Estimated value: €6,000 – €9,000.

This antique fire-gilded Himalayan Shakyamuni Buddha with halo is an exceptional interior piece that instantly adds tranquility, depth, and character to a space. The combination of the seated Buddha, the openwork halo, and the temple-like base creates a strong sculptural presence that naturally forms a focal point in both modern and classic interiors. Remnants of the original fire gilding and a natural patina formed by time give the statue an authentic presence that cannot be compared to modern decoration.

The statue is traditionally cast using the lost-wax technique and displays the harmonious balance and understated power characteristic of older Himalayan workshops. Due to its complete composition and powerful vertical form, this piece functions not only as a spiritual object but also as a timeless work of art that instantly makes an interior more personal and richer.
