Vintage Cloisonne Enamel Lotus Bodhisattva Metal Buddha Statue

Description

This ornate bronze and cloisonné statue depicts a seated Bodhisattva, likely Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara), captured in a moment of serene meditation. The figure is seated in the padmasana (lotus position) atop an intricately cast bronze lotus throne, holding a long-stemmed lotus bud that curves gracefully toward the shoulder. The figure is draped in vibrant robes decorated with cloisonné enamel, featuring a brilliant sky-blue ground filled with colorful floral motifs in red, yellow, and white, framed by delicate gold-toned wirework.

Behind the figure stands a majestic flaming mandorla (halo), cast in dark bronze with a circular cutout that frames the head, symbolizing spiritual radiance. The contrast between the weathered, dark patina of the exposed bronze on the face, hands, and halo and the vivid, glassy finish of the enamel robes creates a striking visual balance. From the back, the continuity of the floral patterns demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship, making the piece a beautiful example of traditional East Asian religious artistry.
