A still brass Buddha head with a dark antique finish, made for a space where quiet detail matters. The closed eyes, softly modelled mouth and elongated ears give it a composed presence, while green patina over the textured hair catches the light against the deeper bronze tones of the face.
What you’ll notice in the form
The face is calm and symmetrical, with lowered eyelids and gently defined lips.
The hair is shown in raised curls, finished in a weathered green tone that contrasts with the darker brass below.
Gold-toned highlights sit around the brow, nose, lips and ears, giving the antique finish more depth.
A small raised mark at the centre of the forehead adds a quiet focal point.
The elongated ears frame the head clearly, a recognisable feature in Buddhist iconography.
Antique-finished brass from Indonesia
This piece is made from brass and has an aged, darkened surface rather than a bright polished shine. The finish gives it a lived-in look, with green and golden tones sitting across the raised details.
Brass has a naturally weighty feel and can deepen in character over time. If you prefer the aged look, leave the surface as it is and dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Buddhist iconography, treated with care
The Buddha head is one of the most familiar forms in Buddhist-inspired art, often recognised through the closed eyes, elongated ears and textured hair. These details are traditionally connected with images of the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, and are approached here as respectful decorative iconography rather than a novelty object.
