Description

This antique wooden Mandalay Buddha statue, hailing from Burma (Myanmar) and dating back to the 19th century, exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of the region. Standing at 81.5 cm tall, it is intricately gilded with 24-karat gold, showcasing the craftsmanship that defines Burmese art.

Mandalay, the last royal capital of Myanmar, became a center for Buddhist artistry during the 19th century, with artisans developing distinct styles that incorporated both religious significance and local aesthetics. The statue features delicate inlaid eyes, adding depth and expression to its serene visage. The flowing robes, adorned with intricate patterns, reflect the elegance typical of Mandalay style and signify the divine quality associated with Buddha.

The statue's posture, with the hands gracefully held outward, invites contemplation and embodies the tranquility that Buddha represents. Its dimensions, with a width of 34.5 cm and depth of 20 cm, make it a striking presence ideal for both display and meditation spaces.

An embodiment of Burmese spirituality and craftsmanship, this statue not only serves as a decorative piece but also as a connection to the rich cultural history of Myanmar, inviting reflection on both art and faith. Weighing 6.62 kg, it stands as a testament to the skill of its creators, preserving a moment of the past for contemporary appreciation.
