Description

This Antique Burmese marble Buddha statue, dating back to the 17th-18th century, stands at an impressive height of 59 cm and is a remarkable representation of Shan (Tai Yai) artistry. Crafted from fine marble, this statue is adorned with traces of 24 karat gilding, reflecting the historical significance and skill of the artisans of the period.

The statue embodies the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture that symbolizes the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha attained spiritual awakening. This particular mudra is characterized by the Buddha touching the earth, calling upon the earth to witness his enlightenment.

Burma, known today as Myanmar, has a deep-rooted history in Buddhism, with the religion forming a vital part of its cultural identity for centuries. This statue reflects the fusion of local artistic styles and spiritual beliefs that has evolved throughout the country’s history. The Shan people, in particular, have contributed significantly to the rich tapestry of Burmese culture, blending traditional practices with Buddhist teachings.

With dimensions of 39.7 cm in width and 22 cm in depth, and weighing 27.05 kg, this exquisite piece not only serves as a spiritual artifact but also as a historical testament to the region's artistic legacy. This statue is an exceptional find for collectors and enthusiasts of Asian art and history.
