Antique Wooden Buddha – Himalayan Devotional Statue – Lot 196

Estimated value: €900 – €1,400. This small wooden Buddha statue immediately radiates peace and authenticity. You can see and feel that this is not a decorative object, but a statue that has long been part of a personal altar or daily ritual use. The soft forms, rounded details, and deep discoloration were created by touch, time, and use – not by artificial aging. The Buddha sits in a classic meditation pose on a lotus base, a posture that represents inner peace and stability. It is precisely the simplicity of the carving that makes it powerful: this is not a manufactured “beautiful” piece, but an honest, old object with character and history. The wood is visibly dried and shows natural cracks and wear, befitting an object that has existed for generations. These types of small statues were often kept close to the owner – on a home altar, in a niche, or brought along during travels – which explains the intense signs of use. A special and sincere piece for those who do not seek perfection, but want to bring genuine presence and energy into their home.

Each object is examined before it is offered: material, casting or carving technique, surface, and signs of age are compared with documented references. You will receive a certificate of authenticity and an official invoice detailing the period, material, and available provenance.
