Tibetan Buddha Statue with Turquoise & Coral Inlay | Rare Antique Brass Buddha from Northern India | Himalayan Buddhist Statue
This rare and unique Tibetan Buddha statue was found in a tiny antique shop in Northern India, making it a genuinely one-of-a-kind find. Cast in solid brass, the seated Buddha is finished with a smooth gilded face, tightly curled ushnisha hair topped with a flame finial, and long pendant earlobes in the classic Buddhist iconographic tradition. The robe draped over one shoulder is richly inlaid with a turquoise chip mosaic, bordered by rows of coral-toned roundels, extending across both the front and back of the figure. The right hand rests in the lap holding a small vessel, while the left hand is raised in a mudra gesture beside a rising lotus stem. The Buddha sits on a coral-trimmed lotus base atop a brass pedestal. The statue stands 10.2 inches tall and weighs approximately 6 pounds, reflecting its substantial, high-quality brass construction.
This statue has strong appeal for collectors of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist art, antique brass statuary, turquoise and coral inlay craftsmanship, and meditation or altar decor. Its rarity, weight, and detailed mosaic work make it a standout centerpiece for any Buddhist art collection, meditation space, or eclectic home decor featuring Asian antiques.
A meaningful and substantial find for collectors of Himalayan Buddhist statuary, spiritual decor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a genuinely rare antique piece with history and craftsmanship.
