Description

This antique wooden Burmese Buddha statue, measuring 73.5 cm in height and weighing 14.9 kg, reflects the rich spiritual heritage of Burma, known today as Myanmar. Crafted in the 18th century, this exquisite piece is representative of the Shan (Tai Yai) style, distinguished by its graceful forms and intricate detailing.

The statue features traces of 24 karat gilding, adding a stunning luster that symbolizes enlightenment and divinity. The mudra depicted here is the Bhumisparsha, or "Earth Touching" gesture, which represents the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This gesture signifies the Buddha's call to the Earth as a witness to his realization of truth, making it profoundly significant in Buddhist tradition.

Originating from a country steeped in a history of diverse cultures and traditions, this statue not only serves as a spiritual icon but also as a testament to the artistry of Burmese craftsmanship. The natural wood, combined with the gold accents, reveals the techniques and materials valued by artisans of that era. Collecting or displaying this statue provides a meaningful connection to a pivotal moment in spiritual history, echoing the quest for peace and understanding that the Buddha embodies.
