Description

This Antique Wooden Tai Lue Buddha, originating from Burma (Myanmar) and dating back to the 18th century, exemplifies the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the Shan people, also known as the Tai Yai. Standing at a height of 35.1 cm, this intricately carved statue is made from wood and is adorned with gilding in 24-karat gold, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of the period.

The Shan style of sculpture is characterized by its graceful forms and serene facial expressions, reflecting the spiritual essence of Buddhism. This particular figure embodies the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the moment of enlightenment and the act of calling the Earth to witness. This pose is significant in Buddhist iconography, representing the Buddha's triumph over temptation and his quest for inner peace.

Burma's long-standing tradition of wood carving draws on centuries of religious influence, with the craftsmanship often passed down through generations. The use of gold leaf in this piece not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also signifies the sacred nature of the subject, as gold is commonly associated with purity and divine beauty in Buddhist art.

This Buddha statue, with its historical significance and artistic elegance, serves as both a spiritual symbol and a remarkable representation of the cultural identity of the Shan people, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
