Carving over 50 years old
According to the available information, the carving dates from the period 1970–1972 , making it well over half a century old by now.
It is precisely this age that makes the sculpture interesting to collectors of older gemstone and ornamental stone carvings. The style and finish give the sculpture a very different character from many contemporary decorative carvings.
As a result, it is not only a beautiful Buddha statue, but also a special vintage collector's item from the early 1970s.
Standing Buddha with particularly fine carving
The Buddha is depicted standing and has an elegant, stately appearance. The engraver has paid great attention to the various forms and details.
Look, for example, at the rendering of the face, hands, clothing, body shapes, and decorative elements. The relief creates light and dark areas that give the carving extra depth.
It is precisely in a carving of this size that these details come into their own particularly well.
Large format 155 mm high
With a height of 155 mm, a width of approximately 80 mm , and a depth of approximately 55 mm, this Buddha has a nice display piece size.
the weight of no less than 875 grams indicates that this is a sturdy and substantial object.
The carving can be beautifully displayed on a small pedestal, in a lighted display case, or as a centerpiece among other special minerals, gemstones, and Asian art objects.
The special brilliance of goldstone
Goldstone is easily recognizable by its warm reddish-brown color and the enormous amount of small sparkling particles. When light falls on the material, a dazzling effect is created that is reminiscent of thousands of small golden points of light.
Despite the name, goldstone is not a naturally formed gemstone. It is a man-made glassy material in which small copper crystals provide the characteristic sparkle.
Goldstone has long been used in jewelry, beads, ornaments, and carvings. On a large three-dimensional object like this Buddha, the sparkle is shown to its best advantage.
Vintage carving for the collector
Carvings from the seventies are interesting for enthusiasts who look not only at the materials used, but also at age, style, and craftsmanship.
This example combines several attractive features: a dating of circa 1970–1972, a weight of 875 grams, a height of 15.5 cm, and above all, a very detailed execution.
This makes it a beautiful addition to a collection of antique carvings, Buddha statues, gemstones, or Asian-inspired art objects.
Symbolism of the Buddha
Buddha statues are appreciated worldwide for their allure and symbolism. Within Buddhism and various spiritual traditions, the Buddha is associated with wisdom, awareness, inner peace, and enlightenment.
Even outside a religious context, Buddha statues are widely collected and used as decorative art objects.
The warm reddish-brown goldstone gives this standing Buddha a very distinctive character.
Beautifully directed lighting
This carving deserves a beautiful presentation. Goldstone comes spectacularly to life, especially under a warm spotlight or in a lit display case.
The small copper-colored particles begin to sparkle, while the shadows in the carving further emphasize the details of the Buddha.
With dimensions of 155 × 80 × 55 mm, the sculpture is large enough to be presented independently as an eye-catcher, yet compact enough for a display cabinet or mineral cabinet.
