Une figure du Bouddha Amitayus en bronze doré, Chine, Qianlong, datée 1770

H.: 17,5 cm

Condition: (UV-checked)
- In good condition, with minor superficial wear throughout.
- Lacking the attribute in the hands.
- Lacking the mandorla.
- Possibly lacking an earring.
- Please note that the alloy contains a high amount of copper, rendering the piece a rather reddish shine as opposed to the gold/brown tone usually perceived on bronze. The term gilt copper alloy may be more suitable than gilt bronze in this case.

Provenance:
- Gifted by Mrs. Franklin, director of the Victoria Institute in Brussels, in 1910, to the grandmother of the current owner. The Victoria Institute was a boarding school for children of ambassadors.
