Historical Context & Origin

Region: Tibet
Material: Gilded bronze with traces of polychrome
Period: Circa 18th–19th Century

Description
An evocative fragmentary Buddha head cast in bronze and richly adorned with remnants of gilding. The serene facial features—gentle smile, half-closed eyes, and elongated ears—express the meditative calm characteristic of Tibetan Buddhist art. The ornate crown, decorated with fine floral and geometric patterns, suggests this is likely an image of a crowned Buddha or Bodhisattva, possibly Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig).

Features

- Finely cast bronze with traces of original gilding and pigment

- Distinctive crown with incised decorative patterns and central finial

- Elegant proportions with stylized eyes, nose, and lips conveying spiritual tranquility

- Presented on a modern custom wooden display base

Cultural Significance
Buddha heads in Tibetan art embody not only the likeness of the Enlightened One but also the ideals of wisdom, compassion, and serenity. This fragment, though once part of a larger statue, remains a powerful devotional image and a valuable collector’s piece reflecting Tibetan Buddhist traditions.

Condition
Fragmentary as shown, with surface wear, patina, and loss of gilding consistent with age. Mounted for display.

Dimensions (approximate)
Height (including base): 5.5 in
