May Buddha bless all

I started looking into Buddhism a few years ago and find the art form of his likeness intriguing. I enjoyed this very much.

[@robertschlesinger1342]

Very interesting and worthwhile video. Beautiful ancient bronzes.

So beautiful collection... so amazing

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

no Gotamid (ie the buddha) iconography exists prior to the 2nd century CE (AD), ....earliest (original) buddhism forbid corporeal representation of the Persona we call Gotama (ie "the Buddha").

[@TheFrozenMind]

are some of the statues made of "Brass"?

[@boranbkk4270]

Bronze and copper alloy mostly. You get brass in the western Himalayas in the 13 that’s and 14th century

And why is he not wearing gloves when handling pieces that are over a thousand years old ??? I'm surprised .No acid in my sweat

[@RobespierreThePoof]

Gloves aren't necessary for all materials. There's chemistry involved in this. If you don't know it, best not to jump to conclusions.
