Condition Notes: Used – Good vintage conditionBeautiful natural patina and light oxidation consistent with ageMinor surface wear on edges and base, expected for handcrafted older copper itemsNo visible cracks, dents, or structural issuesMaterials sourced from: ChinaPrimary Material: CopperAntique: YesProduct: BuddhaHeight: 7.5 inRegion of Origin: ChineseAge: 1900-1940Country of Origin: ChinaThis is an exceptionally rare pair of handcrafted copper standing Buddha statues, each mounted on a finely detailed lotus pedestal. Measuring approximately 21 cm (8.2 inches) in height and weighing a combined 1447 grams, these figures exhibit traditional Buddhist craftsmanship and a warm, aged patina that suggests they may date from before the 1950s. These statues are very rare—a thorough search has not uncovered another pair with this exact style, size, and detailing, making them a unique acquisition for collectors and spiritual art enthusiasts. Their rarity, combined with their condition and craftsmanship, suggests they may be highly valuable. Each Buddha stands in a calm, upright posture with one hand raised in the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of protection and peace), while the other rests by the side. The robes are ornately ribbed with fine linear details, and each figure is backed by a stylized halo with radial texture. The base features layered lotus petals—symbolic of purity and spiritual awakening.
