Serene Sino Tibetan Bronze Monk

Dimensions . Approx. 24cm high

Why we love it

Sino-Tibetan bronze figure of a monk, depicted in hat, head slightly bowed with serene expression, eyes closed in prayer, robes falling from shoulders, hands resting in lap. Crossed legs on double lotus base, accented in gilt remnants. Marked to base.

For bronze or brass figurines to make our collection it comes down to the combination of materials, expression / demeanour and patina. It has to pass on all three. So often we see pieces where the expression looks wrong or the patina and material looks artificial. Not this one however, he has such a calming energy.

Disclaimer - All of our vintage pieces are in good working condition (unless noted otherwise) and show patina consistent with age, which adds to their beauty and character and is not considered a defect.
