Description

This exquisite antique marble Burmese Buddha statue exemplifies the Shan (Tai Yai) style, characterized by its serene features and elegant proportions. Standing at 56 cm tall, this statue originates from Burma (Myanmar) and dates back to the early 18th century, a period marked by rich cultural exchanges in Southeast Asia.

Crafted from fine marble, the statue embodies the deep spiritual significance of Buddhism, showcasing the Bhumisparsha mudra, or the "earth-touching gesture." This mudra represents the moment when Buddha attained enlightenment, symbolizing the call to the earth as a witness to his awakening. The intricacy of the lotus pedestal upon which the Buddha sits further emphasizes his sanctity, as the lotus flower is often associated with purity and spiritual emergence.

Buddhism in Burma has a profound history, with the religion deeply influencing art, architecture, and culture. The Shan people, who primarily inhabit the eastern regions, have enriched Burmese Buddhist traditions with their unique interpretations and craftsmanship. This statue reflects both artistic mastery and spiritual devotion, making it a cherished item for collectors and a significant piece for those wishing to connect with the teachings of the Buddha.

Weighing 15.65 kg and measuring 28.3 cm in width and 16.2 cm in depth, this timeless artwork offers a glimpse into the spiritual heritage of Myanmar, inviting contemplation and reverence.
