Description

This exquisite antique marble Burmese Buddha statue stands 48 cm tall, embodying the rich spiritual heritage of Burma (Myanmar). Crafted during the 19th century, the statue reflects a distinctive Mandalay style, characterized by its serene expression and graceful posture. The figure is seated in the classic position, inviting contemplation and meditation.

Carved from high-quality marble, the statue showcases intricate details, including soft, flowing robes and delicate facial features. The subtle yellow veins in the marble add a unique character, enhancing its historical allure. The inscriptions found at the base offer a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of its time, further connecting the piece to its cultural roots.

The statue represents the Bhumisparsha, or "Earth Touching" mudra, a symbolic gesture in Buddhist iconography that signifies the moment of Gautama Buddha’s enlightenment. It denotes the Buddha’s victory over temptation and the embodiment of steadfastness and determination.

Burma has a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship in religious art, making this Buddha statue not just a decorative piece but a profound representation of Buddhist philosophy and practice. As a timeless artifact, it serves as a poignant reminder of the spiritual journey embraced by many throughout history, captivating collectors and enthusiasts alike.
