Description

This exquisite antique bronze Mandalay Buddha statue stands at an impressive height of 53.5 cm and features inlaid eyes that convey a sense of serene presence. Originating from Burma (Myanmar) in the 19th century, this statue reflects the rich artistic heritage of the Mandalay period, known for its intricate craftsmanship and spiritual significance.

The statue exhibits the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the Buddha's enlightenment and his call to the Earth as a witness of his realization. This iconic pose represents the moment Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, making it a powerful emblem of meditation, serenity, and the overcoming of ignorance.

Enhancing its historical value, the base of the statue features Burmese inscriptions, likely denoting the name of the family that once donated this sacred piece. Such inscriptions provide a glimpse into the cultural and social contexts of the time, illustrating the deep reverence held for these spiritual figures in Burmese society.

Weighing 15.35 kg and measuring 40.7 cm in width and 22.1 cm in depth, this statue not only serves as a captivating art piece but also as a profound symbol of peace and tranquility, embodying the values and beliefs of Buddhism that have shaped the Burmese landscape for centuries.
