Guru Rinpoche – antique bronze statue – lot 115

This antique statue of Guru Rinpoche is crafted in bronze and depicts the famous Tibetan master seated in the traditional lama posture. The statue measures approximately 16 cm high and 13 cm wide and weighs about 700 grams. Despite its compact size, the object feels sturdy and convincing, indicating solid, hand-cast bronze.

The design is rich and lively, with clear manual modeling in the face, the folds of the robe, and the attributes. Visible remnants of original gilding are present in recessed areas, while the raised parts show natural wear. This wear pattern, combined with the open base and the absence of a closing plate, is consistent with older Himalayan Tibetan bronze work.

The surface has a weathered patina that is not the result of modern treatment, but of prolonged age and use. The statue is not a modern decorative object, but a traditionally crafted religious statue with clear historical and artisanal quality.

A powerful and authentic antique statue of Guru Rinpoche, suitable for collectors of Tibetan art, Buddhist objects, or as a unique and characterful object in an interior or meditation room.

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.
