Description
This intricately designed votive figure measures just 2.5x1.9 cm (0.98x0.75 inches) and is a rare artifact from the 19th-20th century. The statuette is crafted from lead, displaying an exquisite excavation patina that contributes to its antiquity. It represents a Buddha with a closed face, a symbolic gesture in Buddhist art indicating meditation and inward focus. The abstract patterns surrounding the figure resemble Sanskrit script or mantras, integrating language with form, which is a characteristic practice in the Buddhist art of South Asia. This piece likely served as a personal devotional object, encapsulating the rich spiritual customs of the region.
