Description
The object presented is an antique votive figure finial, measuring 5 cm in height and 2 cm in width (approximately 1.97 inches by 0.79 inches). Cast from bronze or brass, this finial dates back to the 17th-18th century and is a relic from the Southeast Asian region. The figure is depicted in a seated position, likely representing the Buddha in a meditative or teaching posture, common in the artistic representations of the time. The item was probably used as a decorative element on furniture or religious objects, serving both an aesthetic and symbolic purpose. The style and execution suggest it originates from the Buddhist traditions of Thailand or Myanmar, where such finials were often employed to cap and consecrate sacred texts or reliquaries. This piece embodies the spiritual reverence of the era and region, with its serene expression and iconic mudra.
