Description

This exquisite Antique Wooden Burmese Buddha Statue, standing 60 cm tall, exemplifies the artistry of the Shan (Tai Yai) style, known for its intricate craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism. Dating back to the 18th century, this impressive piece has been meticulously gilded with 24-carat gold, enhancing its majestic presence. Its dimensions of 27.6 cm in width and 17.5 cm in depth invite admiration and reverence.

The statue embodies the Bhumisparsha mudra, which represents the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha called the Earth to witness his right to attain Nirvana. This gesture signifies steadfastness and the connection between the material and spiritual realms.

Originating from Burma (Myanmar), the history of such statues reflects the deep-rooted spiritual heritage of the region. Influenced by centuries of Buddhist tradition, these sculptures have served as focal points of meditation and worship, guiding the faithful towards mindfulness and inner peace.

The detailed embellishments, including the jewel-like accents, showcase the artistic skill and devotion of its creators, making it not just a decorative item but a significant cultural artifact. The weight of 4.64 kg and the warm wood finish further add to its charm, ensuring it stands as a timeless piece of craftsmanship that bridges the past and present.
