Description

This exquisite antique reclining Buddha statue originates from Burma (Myanmar) and dates back to the 18th century, showcasing the remarkable Shan (Tai Yai) style. Crafted from marble, this piece measures 28.5 cm in height and 62.5 cm in length, weighing 11.8 kg.

The reclining Buddha is a significant representation in Buddhist art, depicting the moment of the Buddha's passing into Nirvana. His serene expression and relaxed pose embody tranquility and enlightenment, symbolizing the liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth. The careful attention to detail in the robe's draping and the peaceful demeanor reflects the artistic mastery of the era.

Burma, with its rich history and deep-rooted Buddhist traditions, has produced a vast array of religious sculptures, each carrying profound symbolic meanings. The Shan style is particularly noted for its elegant curves and refined features, emphasizing grace and serenity, which are core to Buddhist teachings. This statue not only serves as an aesthetic piece but also as a spiritual reminder of the principles of compassion, wisdom, and the quest for enlightenment.

As a significant artifact from a bygone era, this reclining Buddha stands as both a work of art and a testament to the enduring practice of Buddhism in Myanmar.
