This old Buddha statue from Nepal is a finely crafted example of traditional Nepalese Newar bronze art and combines iconographic clarity with rich symbolic decoration. The statue dates from the second half of the 20th century and was made by the master Jagat Raj Shakya (Newar tradition).
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a meditative sitting posture (vajrasana) on a richly decorated throne. The right hand touches the earth (bhumisparsha mudra), a classic symbol for the moment of enlightenment, while the left hand rests in the lap in a meditation posture. The face appears calm and collected, with a gently lowered gaze and finely sculpted features.
The elaborately designed back (aureole/prabhamandala) is striking: It shows an openwork arrangement of mythical animals, figures and ornamental motifs, crowned by a winged protective figure. These representations symbolize protection, cosmic order and spiritual power. The back plate is made separately and painted red on the reverse, as is often the case with Nepalese works from this period.
The throne is richly decorated, including with small supporting figures and flowing fabric motifs that lend the object depth and dynamism. The surface shows a warm, gold to bronze-colored patina that corresponds to the age and craftsmanship.
This statue is both a religious cult object and a handcrafted collector's item. It is suitable for a home altar, a collection of Asian art or as a representative individual object.
