Description

This antique wooden Burmese Buddha statue, originating from Myanmar, stands at a height of 35.7 cm and is meticulously gilded with 24 karat gold, a testament to its exquisite craftsmanship. Dating back to the 19th century, this piece exemplifies the Shan style, also known as Tai Yai, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The intricate details, including the colorful embellishments and the carefully carved features, highlight the artistry prevalent in Burmese statue creation during this period.

The statue's posture, specifically the Bhumisparsha mudra, signifies the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, symbolizing the call to the Earth as a witness to his awakening. This gesture captures an essential moment in Buddhist tradition, emphasizing themes of grounding and enlightenment.

Myanmar has a long history of Buddhism, deeply ingrained in its culture since the 1st century AD. The diverse styles of statues found throughout the country often reflect regional influences and artistic developments over the centuries. This particular statue not only serves as a spiritual symbol but also as a historical artifact, preserving the artistic and religious essence of Burmese heritage.

At 2.39 kg, this statue presents an opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a piece of significant historical and cultural importance, connecting them to the timeless teachings of Buddhism.
