Description

This antique wooden Mandalay Buddha, originating from Burma (Myanmar), stands at an impressive height of 49.7 cm and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the 19th century. Gilded with 24 karat gold, the statue reflects the intricacy and artistic mastery characteristic of the Mandalay style, which emphasized elaborate detailing and rich ornamentation.

The inlaid eyes contribute to the serene expression of the Buddha, embodying a sense of calm and meditative presence. This style is noted for its vibrant colors and intricate carvings, often seen in Burmese religious art. The representation of the Buddha here is significant, as it aligns with the teachings of compassion and enlightenment central to Buddhism.

This particular statue is depicted in the Bhumisparsha mudra, or the "earth touching" gesture, which symbolizes the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment. This gesture signifies the call to the Earth as a witness to his awakening and represents overcoming ignorance.

Burma has a long history of Buddhist tradition, heavily influenced by both indigenous beliefs and the spread of Theravada Buddhism. The craftsmanship seen in this statue not only reflects spiritual devotion but also the cultural heritage of Burma, making it a significant piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The weight of 9.75 kg is indicative of the solid wood used in its creation, ensuring both durability and authenticity.
