Indian Buddha Statue - Antique Gandhara Style Bronze Meditation Buddha Statue - 70cm/28"
Measures – (Height) 70cm/28”
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 level of spiritual development and is characteristic of the Gandhara style. His expression is peaceful and introspective, with downcast eyes and a calm, steady brow, while the elongated earlobes recall his youth as a prince adorned with heavy gold earrings.
The Buddha sits on a richly decorated pedestal, his hands forming the dhyana mudra, or meditation gesture, which evokes deep contemplation, inner stillness, and unity with higher truth. His robes cascade fluidly from both shoulders in elegant folds that enhance the sculpture’s sense of grace and poise. On his forehead, a subtle third eye, or urna, symbolises the Buddha’s ability to see beyond the mundane world of suffering into the deeper reality of enlightenment.
Beneath him, the lotus pedestal reinforces the central theme of awakening. The lotus flower, rising pure and beautiful from muddy waters, represents the attainment of enlightenment and the fulfilment that follows spiritual practice. Widely used across Eastern traditions, it appears as both a sacred seat and a symbolic motif, reminding us that by releasing attachment to the material world and cultivating inner spirituality, we, too, can realise true happiness.
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 in appearance and rich in symbolism, this Gandhara-style Buddha is an ideal piece to bring serenity, spiritual resonance, and timeless style to any home, office, or sacred space.
