Large sculpture "Buddha", Asia, 19th century

Carved and lacquered wood. The Buddha figure is standing on a square carved pedestal. He is dressed in sumptuous robes that appear to be embroidered. In both hands he holds a garment that has a Buddhist emblem on the front and long ribbons falling down the sides. The face is oval and round with a serene expression. On both sides of the face stand out the ears, large with distended lobes, symbol of Buddha. The headdress is as elaborate as the robes and is gathered in a high bun. The patina shows wear due to age. In general it is in good condition.
