Description

This exquisite Antique Burmese Buddha statue stands at a height of 56.8 cm, crafted from wood and elegantly gilded with 24-karat gold. Originating from Burma (Myanmar) in the 19th century, this piece embodies the rich spiritual heritage and artistic craftsmanship of the region. The statue features a serene expression and intricately detailed attire, reflecting the influence of traditional Burmese art.

The statue's dimensions of 37 cm in width and 16.4 cm in depth, along with a weight of 9.6 kg, showcase its substantial presence. The base exhibits classic design elements reminiscent of Burmese architecture, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, represented by the figure's hand resting on the knee while touching the earth, symbolizes the moment Buddha attained enlightenment. This mudra signifies the importance of grounding and connection to the earth, a key aspect in Buddhist philosophy.

Myanmar's history is deeply intertwined with Buddhism, which arrived in the region over a millennium ago. Artisans have historically crafted statues like this one, not only as objects of worship but also as cultural treasures that encapsulate the spiritual aspirations of the people. This statue not only serves as a remarkable artifact but also tells a story of devotion, artistry, and the timeless pursuit of peace and enlightenment.
