Description

This exquisite antique wooden Burmese Buddha stands 66.2 cm tall and showcases the distinctive Shan (Tai Yai) style, a reflection of the rich artistic heritage of Myanmar. Crafted in the 18th century, this statue is made from wood and is beautifully gilded with 24-karat gold, emphasizing its spiritual significance and the skill of the artisans who created it.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this piece, symbolizes the moment of Buddha's enlightenment, representing the earth as a witness to his spiritual awakening. This gesture is profound in Buddhist tradition, denoting both the calming of the mind and the invitation to remain grounded in the present.

Originating from Burma, a nation with a deep-rooted Buddhist culture, this statue reflects centuries of devotion and artistry. The region has historically been a melting pot of religious practices, with artisans infusing their work with local beliefs and styles. The age and wear of this statue tell a story not only of its craftsmanship but also of the countless devotees who have revered it over the years.

This piece, weighing 2.18 kg and measuring 21 cm in width and 15 cm in depth, offers a tangible connection to Myanmar's past and a cherished addition to any collection of spiritual artifacts.
