Description

This Antique Wooden Burmese Shan Buddha, dating back to the 18th century, embodies the rich spiritual heritage of Burma (Myanmar). Standing at 66 cm tall, this statue is an exquisite example of the Shan style, characterized by graceful proportions and intricate details. The use of 24 karat gold gilding highlights its craftsmanship, giving it a radiant presence that has captivated admirers for centuries.

The Shan people, also known as the Tai Yai, have contributed significantly to the cultural landscape of Myanmar, blending local traditions with influences from neighboring regions. This figure presents the Bhumisparsha mudra, or "Earth Touching" gesture, which signifies the moment of enlightenment when Buddha declared the Earth as his witness to his spiritual quest. This mudra reflects the Buddha's unyielding resolve and commitment to raising awareness and compassion.

With a width of 34 cm and a depth of 16 cm, this statue is not only a remarkable artistic piece but also a conduit for meditation and contemplation. Weighing 8.55 kg, its sturdy construction emphasizes the artistic dedication of the period. This remarkable artifact serves as a vital link to the spiritual journey of Buddhism in a region that has steadfastly preserved its historical significance over time.
