Description
Height:23cm(9.06in), Long:15cm(5.91in), Width:12cm(4.72in)This gilt bronze seated statue of Bodhidharma dates to the Ming Dynasty. Crafted in gilt bronze, its gilded surface bears mottled wear, exuding a profound sense of antiquity. Bodhidharma assumes a cross-legged meditation pose, with a long beard flowing down his chest and a rugged, venerable countenance. The anatomical lines of his torso are rendered in a realistic and fluid manner. With his hands clasped before his abdomen and the folds of his robe falling naturally, he wears a calm and solemn expression, fully embodying the restrained, ascetic aura of a Chan Buddhist practitioner. It represents a classic form of Buddhist and Daoist sculpture from the Ming Dynasty, symbolizing meditative enlightenment and tranquil inner peace.
