Description

This Antique Burmese Shan Buddha stands at an impressive height of 70.6 cm, intricately crafted from lacquerware and adorned with 24 karat gold, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of Burma (Myanmar). Dating back to the 17th to 18th century, this statue exemplifies the Shan style, also known as Tai Yai, distinguished by its elegant proportions and detailed craftsmanship.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in the statue, symbolizes the moment of Buddha's enlightenment, where he touches the earth to witness the earth as witness to his journey. This gesture serves as a powerful reminder of seeking truth and the attainment of spiritual awakening.

Burma has a long and storied history of Buddhism, heavily influenced by its various ethnicities and cultures. The Shan people, known for their artistic skills, have contributed significantly to the development of Buddhist art in the region. The intricate patterns and decorative elements on this piece reveal the deep spiritual and cultural significance that Buddhism holds in Burmese society.

Weighing 5.8 kg and measuring 43 cm in width and 33.5 cm in depth, this statue not only serves as a remarkable decorative piece but also as a profound symbol of faith and tradition, inviting contemplation and connection to the rich cultural tapestry of Myanmar.
