Description

The Antique Bronze Burmese Mandalay Buddha statue is a remarkable artifact from 19th century Burma (Myanmar), highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of the Mandalay style. Crafted from bronze and gilded with 24-karat gold, this statue stands at 44.5 cm tall and features striking inlaid eyes that lend a lifelike quality to the piece.

The Mandalay style emerged in the late 19th century, during the last days of the Burmese monarchy, when artistic expression flourished. This period is known for its unique interpretations of Buddhist iconography, showcasing intricate detailing and vibrant use of color. The statue captures the serene and dignified presence of the Buddha, symbolizing spiritual tranquility and enlightenment.

The posture of this statue is indicative of the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture that represents the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, where he calls the Earth to witness his resolution of attaining Nirvana. This mudra holds profound significance, illustrating the themes of grounding and the quest for truth.

The statue, weighing 11 kg and measuring 36 cm wide and 24.1 cm deep, is not only a spiritual symbol but also a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar. It reflects the deep-rooted history and artistic traditions of the region, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
