This antique wooden Burmese Shan Buddha stands at an impressive height of 81.7 cm and exhibits remarkable craftsmanship from the 18th century. The statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar), reflects the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the region. The style, known as Shan or Tai Yai, showcases the influence of both indigenous craftsmanship and Buddhist religious symbolism.

The Buddha is adorned with traces of its original 24-karat gilding, hinting at its former splendor and the significance placed on gold as a symbol of purity and enlightenment in Buddhist art. The serene expression and formal posture evoke a sense of tranquility and spiritual depth. Slender proportions and intricate details, characteristic of Shan artistry, highlight the era’s dedication to beauty in spiritual representation.

The mudra associated with this piece is the Bhumisparsha, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha called the Earth to witness his rite to enlightenment. This gesture signifies grounding, stability, and the triumph over ego, reinforcing important Buddhist teachings.

Burma’s history is intertwined with Buddhism, which has profoundly influenced its art and culture for centuries. Collecting this statue not only connects one to the rich spiritual heritage of Myanmar but also stands as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of its artisans. Weighing 6.9 kg, this piece is both a historical artifact and a striking addition to any collection.
