Hand-Carved Rock Crystal Buddha Head with Gilt and Polychrome Detail
An exquisite hand-carved Buddha head sculpture fashioned from solid rock crystal (clear quartz), accented with gilt and polychrome painted details. The figure’s tranquil expression is beautifully modeled with half-closed eyes, delicately arched brows, and softly smiling lips. Elaborate spiral curls crown the head, each carefully highlighted in metallic gold over a red underlayer, with matching embellishment to the elongated earlobes and base rim. The translucent crystal exhibits natural inclusions and subtle internal refractions, enhancing its luminous, ethereal quality.
A refined representation of traditional Buddhist iconography, this sculpture blends spiritual symbolism with artisanal mastery—ideal for display in a meditative, decorative, or fine art setting.
Condition:
Excellent condition. No damage to the crystal. Minor, minute paint losses along some gilt and polychrome areas, consistent with age and handling. The painted surfaces remain bright and detailed throughout.
Dimensions:
Overall: 7 3/4 x 4 x 3 1/4 inches
