Description

This exquisite antique Burmese Buddha statue, standing at 53.4 cm tall, exemplifies the artistry of the Shan (Tai Yai) style, a significant school of Buddhist sculpture rooted in the history of Myanmar. Crafted in the 18th century, this statue is meticulously gilded with 24-karat gold, enhancing its vibrant presence and spiritual significance.

The statue is constructed from hollow lacquerware, providing both durability and an intricate aesthetic. Its wooden bottom plate adds stability, while the dimensions of 28.5 cm wide and 20.1 cm deep ensure it is a striking centerpiece that captivates attention. Weighing 1.88 kg, this piece is not only a work of art but also a reflection of the rich cultural heritage of Burma.

The Bhumisparsha mudra depicted here symbolizes the Buddha's moment of enlightenment and his call to the earth as a witness to his realization. This gesture embodies the concept of grounding and stability, resonating deeply with followers of Buddhism.

Myanmar's longstanding tradition of craftsmanship in religious artifacts is mirrored in this statue, which showcases the dedication and skill of artisans from centuries past. The amalgamation of history, spirituality, and exquisite craftsmanship in this Buddha statue makes it a meaningful addition to any collection or spiritual space.
