Antique Gilt Iron Quan Yin Head

Offered by: Elle W Collection

Description
A striking gilt iron metal Buddha head, a piece that exudes a sense of serene power and spiritual elegance. The head is meticulously crafted from iron, a robust material that lends a sense of enduring strength. The gilding, applied with care, creates a shimmering, golden surface, catching the light and adding a luxurious dimension. The Buddha's features are rendered with traditional iconography: a serene expression, downcast eyes, elongated earlobes symbolizing wisdom, and often, a representation of the ushnisha, the cranial bump signifying enlightenment. The gilt finish, combined with the solid iron, creates a captivating contrast between the ethereal and the grounded. This piece could serve as a focal point in a meditation space, a living room, or any area where a touch of spiritual tranquility is desired. It's a testament to both artistic skill and the enduring appeal of Buddhist imagery.
