This antique Burmese Shan Buddha statue, crafted during the 18th century, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar (Burma). Standing at 46.7 cm tall and adorned with 24-karat gold, this statue exemplifies the Shan style, characterized by its intricate details and elegant form. The artist has skillfully used lacquerware, creating a striking contrast between the shimmering gold and the deep undertones of the base.

The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the moment when the Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, signifying the Earth’s support as a witness to his awakening. This mudra holds great significance in Buddhist tradition, representing the unity of the spiritual and material worlds, and serves as a powerful reminder of inner peace and mindfulness.

The Shan people, an ethnic group in Myanmar, have a storied history that blends various cultural influences, making their artistic expressions both unique and reflective of diverse traditions. This statue not only serves as a spiritual artifact but also as a testament to the artistic prowess of the Shan artisans. With a weight of 904 grams and dimensions of 30.5 cm wide by 21.1 cm deep, this piece is a remarkable representation of Burmese craftsmanship that continues to resonate with collectors and enthusiasts of Buddhist art.
