Description

This exquisite antique wooden Buddha statue from Burma (Myanmar) dates back to the early 19th century, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the region. Standing at a height of 33.9 cm, it is skillfully gilded with 24-karat gold, which accentuates the serene features of the Buddha. The statue measures 19.4 cm wide and 13.4 cm deep, with a weight of 2.27 kg, making it a substantial yet elegant addition to any collection.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, represented by the touching of the earth with the right hand, symbolizes the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment and the moment of his calling the earth to witness his enlightenment. This powerful gesture emphasizes themes of mindfulness and grounding, inviting onlookers to reflect on their own spiritual journeys.

Burmese craftsmanship is known for its intricate detail and reverence for traditional Buddhist themes, often seen in the flowing robes and thoughtful expressions of the figures depicted. This statue not only serves as a decorative piece but also as a profound emblem of peace and enlightenment, embodying centuries of Buddhist faith deeply woven into the cultural tapestry of Myanmar. Owning this statue allows for a connection to the history and spirituality that has flourished in this vibrant region.
