Description

This extraordinary large antique Burmese Buddha statue stands at an impressive height of 110.5 cm and is beautifully gilded with 24 karat gold. Crafted in the late 18th century, it is a remarkable representation of the Shan style, also known as Tai Yai, characterized by its intricate details and elegance. Weighing 11.7 kg and measuring 71 cm in width and 45 cm in depth, this statue is not just a decorative piece but also a significant relic of Buddhist art and culture.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this statue, symbolizes the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, where he calls the Earth to witness his attainment of Nirvana. This gesture reflects the themes of spiritual triumph and the profound connection between the divine and worldly realms.

Originating from Burma (Myanmar), this statue resides in a region steeped in rich Buddhist history and tradition. The Shan States have long been known for their unique artistic contributions to Buddhism, characterized by elaborate craftsmanship and attention to spiritual significance. Such original antique Shan Buddhas of this size and quality are exceedingly rare, making this statue a prized collection piece.
