Description

This Antique Burmese marble Buddha statue is a remarkable piece of art with significant historical and cultural value. Originating from Burma (Myanmar) during the 19th century, this statue stands at 57.5 cm in height, 40 cm wide, and 23.5 cm deep, crafted from exquisite marble that highlights the intricate details of its design. Weighing 39.15 kg, it exemplifies the skills of Burmese artisans who have been creating such masterpieces for centuries.

The statue is styled in the Mandalay period, known for its refined and graceful representations of Buddha. This period emphasized elegance and serenity, and this statue is a prime example of that aesthetic, capturing the tranquil expression and meditative posture that characterize traditional Buddha figures. Detailed etchings and a serene smile evoke a deep sense of peace and mindfulness.

The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha mudra, which symbolizes the moment of enlightenment, where the Buddha calls the Earth to witness his purity and determination. This gesture not only encapsulates a pivotal moment in Buddhist lore but also serves as a visual representation of overcoming ignorance.

Burma has a rich Buddhist heritage, where such statues hold sacred value, reflecting deep spiritual traditions and cultural symbolism. This statue not only serves as an art object but also as a connection to the historical and spiritual journey of Buddhism in the region.
