This superb 16th Century Korean Baby Buddha depicts the classic gesture of pointing to both heaven and earth, a symbolic reference to the Buddha’s birth and early enlightenment narrative. Standing a substantial 11.75 inches tall, the figure has excellent presence and retains much of its original grace and charm. Condition is very good for its age, with only one missing finger—a common loss found in sculptures of this specific form. The Buddha stands atop a beautifully carved lotus base, and the gilded surface remains warm and expressive. A truly exceptional example of this rare Korean type, distinguished by its elegance, proportion, and spiritual resonance.
