Description

This early 17th-century bronze Buddha statue from Laos stands at 32.3 cm tall and has been expertly crafted to embody both artistry and spirituality. Its notable features include eyes inlaid with mother of pearl, which add an enchanting depth to the serene expression of the figure. Traces of original lacquer and gilding remain, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period and enhancing its historical significance.

Originating from Laos, a country rich in Buddhist culture and history, this statue reflects the deep reverence for Buddhism that has characterized Laotian society for centuries. The statue represents the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture signifying the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha called the Earth to witness his awakening. This mudra embodies the themes of stability and grounding, emphasizing the connection between the earthly and the spiritual.

Laos is known for its intricate artistry in bronze casting, and this piece is a testament to that tradition. The statue's dimensions, being 18.3 cm wide and 11.2 cm deep, along with its weight of 3.59 kg, make it a significant artifact for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its historical context and aesthetic qualities render it not only a decorative piece but also a meaningful symbol of the enduring legacy of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.
