Description

This antique wooden Burmese Shan Buddha, originating from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), dates back to the 18th century and stands at an impressive height of 60.5 cm. Craftsmanship from this era often reflects deep spiritual significance and intricate artistry, which is evident in the fine details of this piece, including traces of 24-karat gilding that enhance its historical allure.

The Shan style, or Tai Yai, is characterized by its elegant depictions of Buddhist figures, often embodying tranquility and enlightenment. This statue showcases the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture that signifies the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment. In this pose, the Buddha touches the earth, calling upon it to bear witness to his attainment of supreme knowledge. This significant mudra serves as a compelling reminder of the Buddhist path to enlightenment.

Burma has a rich history steeped in Buddhism, with its roots intertwining with the culture and identity of its people. Statues like this serve as not only artistic expressions but also historical artifacts that evoke the spiritual legacy of the region. With a weight of 5.09 kg and dimensions of 28.5 cm in width and 15.2 cm in depth, this piece is a striking addition for collectors and admirers of Buddhist art, offering a connection to the rich traditions of Burmese craftsmanship.
