Description

This antique bronze Mandalay Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar), is a stunning representation of 19th-century craftsmanship. Standing at 52.5 cm tall, with a width of 42.6 cm and depth of 23.5 cm, the statue is intricately gilded with 24-karat gold, giving it a warm, radiant finish.

The Mandalay style of sculpture is known for its detailed facial features and flowing robes, reflecting the artistic influences of Burmese culture and the importance of Buddhism in the region. This particular statue embodies the peace and serenity associated with the Buddha, capturing the essence of spiritual practice in its formal elegance.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, represented here, depicts the Buddha's moment of enlightenment, where he touches the earth to call upon it as a witness to his attainment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This gesture symbolizes the overcoming of ignorance and the attainment of spiritual wisdom.

Burma has a rich history of Buddhist art, where statues like this one serve not only as religious icons but also as cultural treasures that showcase the artistry and devotion of their creators. Weighing 20.4 kg, this statue is not just a decorative piece but a profound representation of faith and artistic heritage from a country steeped in religious traditions.
