Indian Buddha Statue - Antique Gandhara Style Bronze Meditation Buddha Statue - 21cm/8"

Measures – (Height) 21cm/8” 

An antique Gandhara-style Buddha seated in the lotus (padmasana) position, with each foot resting on the opposite thigh and the hands in the meditation mudra. The prominent ushnisha, or cranial protuberance, atop his head signifies an advanced state of spiritual development and is characteristic of the Gandhara style.

The Buddha’s expression is serene and introspective, with downcast eyes and a calm, steady brow. His elongated earlobes recall his youth as a prince adorned with heavy gold earrings, symbolising the worldly life he renounced in pursuit of enlightenment.

Seated on a richly decorated pedestal, the Buddha’s hands form the dhyana mudra, or meditation gesture, evoking deep contemplation, inner stillness, and unity with higher truth. This Meditation Buddha, also known as Dhyana or Samadhi Buddha, is a classic image within Buddhist art, embodying inner peace, mindfulness, and spiritual reflection. His robes fall in elegant, fluid folds from both shoulders, enhancing the sculpture’s sense of grace and poise.

Behind him, a mandala adorns the throne, reinforcing the themes of meditation and serenity. Across Eastern traditions, mandalas serve to focus attention, establish a sacred space, and guide practitioners on their spiritual path, often mapping the journey from the outer world to the inner core of awakening.

The casting is especially refined, with finely articulated fingers and toes and crisp detailing throughout. A distinctive, matured patina adds depth, character, and a strong sense of age.

Traditional and contemplative in presence, this Gandhara-style Buddha is an ideal piece to bring serenity, spiritual resonance, and timeless style to your home, office, or sacred space.

Each detail is rendered perfectly. The distinctive patina and detail of the piece is also particularly delightful. The sculpture provides the perfect traditional in appearance Buddha to bring serenity and timeless style to your home, office or sacred space.
