Description

This exquisite antique wooden Buddha statue from Burma (Myanmar) dates back to the 19th century and exemplifies the artistry of the Mandalay style. Standing at 53.5 cm tall, with dimensions of 36 cm in width and 28 cm in depth, this piece showcases a beautifully expressive face, embodying serenity and wisdom, which are hallmarks of traditional Buddhist art.

The Mandalay style, prevalent in central Burma, is known for its intricate detailing and vibrant colors, often featuring dynamic poses and lifelike representations. This statue reflects the skilled craftsmanship of its era, capturing the essence of Buddhist teachings through its form and expression.

The statue's Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture of calling the earth to witness, signifies the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This posture enriches the statue's spiritual significance, representing the triumph over temptation and ignorance.

Burma holds a rich cultural heritage rooted in Buddhism, which has influenced its art and architecture for centuries. The craftsmanship of this statue not only represents religious devotion but also serves as a historical artifact reflecting the artistic evolution during the period. Weighing 12.5 kg, this remarkable piece is not just a decorative object, but a profound symbol of peace and enlightenment, making it a perfect addition to any collection.
