How to identify the authenticity of the golden bronze Buddha statue

Perhaps no one has ever imagined that hundreds of thousands of religious products have been circulated - Buddha statues have become not only collectibles, but also the new darlings in the art market. At the Sotheby's Autumn Auction in Hong Kong in 2006, a Ming Yongle 鎏金释迦牟尼坐 took a sky-high price of HK$123 million.

The identification of the authenticity of the golden bronze Buddha statue can be started from the following five aspects: The first is to look at the material. The bronze statues of bronze and bronze have bronze, brass, red copper and other copper alloys, but the copper used in different periods is different. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the bronze Buddhas used bronze and some red copper products. After the Yuan Dynasty, they appeared. The so-called red bronze statues made of brass and pure copper of copper-zinc alloy, and the Buddha statues of bronze on bronze are generally called golden bronze statues, and most of the brass statues are not sheet metal;

The second is to look at the logo, mount, fingerprint and sitting position. The Buddha statues are very rigorous. The logos, mounts, handprints and sitting postures of the statues are very standardized. As long as you learn more and understand the different characteristics of the bronze statues of gold and bronze in each period, and carefully examine and contrast, you can accurately name a certain collection. This will not only distinguish whether the collection is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, but also find out which Buddha statue and which Bodhisattva are;

Once again, look at the face, body and clothing. The facial features, body proportions, muscles and clothing patterns of the Buddha statues, etc., have different variations in different dynasties, even in different periods of the same dynasty. For example, the two dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although the overall style of the Buddha statues are similar, The face is still slightly different. The Buddha and Bodhisattva of the Sui Dynasty are semi-circular faces, which have become a little thinner since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty;

The fourth is to look at the style. Style refers to the textual materials inherent in the Buddha image itself, such as inscriptions and inscriptions, which have certain reference functions for collectors in identifying the authenticity of Buddha images;

Finally, it can also be identified by the olfactory method. Ancient gold-copper Buddha statues or other Buddha statues made of wood, ceramics, etc., were smothered by fireworks during long-term worship, or buried underground for a long time. As long as you carefully sniff it, you can usually smell the fireworks, moldy or irritating taste, while modern imitations do not have this taste at all, even if some fakes are smoked or buried in the ground, etc. It is also inevitable to reveal flaws, or the smell of fireworks is too strong, or the aroma of the earth is too strong, which is recognized by the experts.
