Meditating Buddha Figurine with Mirror Embellishments

This item is a decorative statue depicting Buddha in a meditative seated posture, likely the Dhyana Mudra (meditation gesture) with hands resting in the lap. The statue appears to be made from a resin or a similar composite material, given its smooth finish and the ability to incorporate diverse textures and colors. The predominant colors are a light, distressed white or off-white for the skin, and a vibrant metallic blue/turquoise with gold accents for the robes. The hair is rendered in a textured, golden finish, resembling small curls, topped with a distinctive golden ushnisha (cranial bump symbolizing wisdom). Notable features include intricate detailing on the robes, particularly the use of small, square, reflective mirror pieces creating a mosaic-like pattern on the sash draped over the shoulder and on the waistband. These mirror accents, bordered by gold trim, lend a contemporary and decorative flair to the traditional subject. The blue robe also features raised, embossed patterns, possibly floral or geometric, enhancing its visual texture. Visible condition issues include a prominent crack running vertically down the center of the face, starting from between the eyes and extending towards the chin, indicating potential damage from impact or stress. There are also smaller chips or wear visible around the base of the crack and potentially on the nose or mouth area. The surface has a slightly weathered or aged appearance, particularly the white areas, which might be an intentional finish. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps in the visible areas. Given its style, material, and decorative embellishments, this statue appears to be a modern production, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, intended for home decor rather than as a traditional religious artifact. The craftsmanship, while decorative, points towards mass production with an emphasis on visual appeal through color and sparkle.
