This large antique Shan Buddha statue, measuring 83 cm in height, is a remarkable representation of Burmese artistry from the 18th century. Originating from Myanmar, historically known as Burma, this region has a rich tradition of producing intricate Buddhist art, reflecting the deep spiritual heritage that has persisted for centuries.

Crafted from bronze, this statue displays traces of its original lacquer and 24-karat gold, adding to its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. The Shan style, also known as Tai Yai, emphasizes graceful forms and delicate features, indicative of the region's unique cultural influences.

The statue is seated in the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the moment of Buddha's enlightenment, where he calls upon the earth to witness his awakening. This mudra emphasizes the importance of grounding oneself in truth and reality, a central tenet of Buddhist philosophy.

Having been forged in an era rich in religious significance, this piece not only serves as an artistic treasure but also as a conduit of the spiritual teachings of Buddhism. This statue stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Buddhist art in Myanmar, inviting contemplation and reflection for anyone who encounters it.
