Descripción del Producto

Product Summary Material: Cast iron Width: Approx. 12cm Height: Approx. 25cm Front-to-back thickness: Approx. 7.5cm Weight: 1.369kg (1,369g) Form: A triad of standing Buddha statues placed within one large halo Main Decorations: Flame pattern halo, round head halo, drapery, lotus pedestal Base: A square base with four legs Condition: Contains rust and surface irregularities; due to significant rust, it was cleaned and maintained with MD40 Period of Production: Exact era unknown This is an old cast iron Triad Buddha (三尊佛). The combination of the dark brown iron surface and the remaining rust creates an antique atmosphere. Standing approximately 25cm tall and weighing 1.369kg, the object feels quite heavy for its size when held in the hand. The most eye-catching part is the large halo (光背) that envelops the three Buddha statues. Inside the pointed, leaf-shaped halo, flame patterns (火焰文) that look like rising flames and dense swirling lines are intricately expressed. Behind the head of each Buddha is a round head halo (頭光), which harmoniously connects the three faces with the large halo. The composition is balanced, with the central Buddha emphasized slightly larger and the other two Buddhas placed to the left and right. The calm faces of the three figures feature distinct eyes, noses, and mouths, with protruding hands and fingers, long flowing drapery, and details down to the toes. From the front, the composition appears neat, while from the side, the three-dimensional quality of the relief (浮彫), with the faces and hands protruding, is clearly revealed. Below is a pedestal (臺座) expressing lotus petals, supported by a square base with four legs. The combination of the curved halo and Buddha statues with the angular base provides an overall sense of stability and presence. It is worth considering as an item for appreciating Buddhist sculptures or as a collectible for a study or display case. As this item had significant rust, the surface was cleaned using MD40. The current luster is influenced by the maintenance agent, and even after cleaning, traces of reddish-brown rust and a rough surface remain. Since it is not in a smooth condition like a new product, please check the surface condition thoroughly through the photos. Although this Buddha statue has been kept as an old object, its exact production date and place of origin have not been confirmed. Rather than defining it as an artifact from a specific era, it is presented focusing on the modeling of the Triad Buddha, the halo patterns, the characteristic weight of cast iron, and its antique atmosphere. When comparing it with similar Buddha statues, please examine not only the shape but also the size, material, weight, halo patterns, pedestal composition, and surface condition.
