Description

This exquisite 19th century Burmese Mandalay Buddha statue stands at 40 cm in height and is intricately crafted from wood, enhanced with gilding of 24 karat gold. With dimensions of 36.5 cm wide and 23 cm deep, it weighs 5.9 kg, making it a substantial piece for any collection. The statue showcases the traditional Mandalay style, noted for its detailed ornamentation and serene representation of the Buddha.

Originating from Burma, now known as Myanmar, this statue reflects the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the region. The Mandalay period, which flourished in the mid-19th century, is renowned for its craftsmanship, where artisans blended religious devotion with artistic expression. This particular statue is portrayed in the Bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the moment of Buddha's enlightenment, as he touches the earth, calling upon it as a witness to his attainment of supreme wisdom.

This piece not only serves as a stunning representation of Buddhist art but also acts as a reminder of Burma's vibrant history and its significance in the propagation of Buddhism throughout Southeast Asia. The combination of gold, intricate designs, and historical context makes this statue an exceptional artifact that would enhance any collection focused on spiritual or cultural themes.
