Description

This exquisite Old Bronze Burmese Buddha Statue stands at 77 cm tall, 45 cm wide, and 31.5 cm deep, embodying the artistry of the Shan style, common in Thailand and Myanmar. Crafted in the early 20th century, it weighs 36.7 kg, showcasing a harmonious blend of elegance and spirituality through its robust bronze form.

The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the Buddha's enlightenment and his call to the earth as a witness of his victory over Mara, the personification of temptation. This mudra reinforces the profound themes of perseverance and truth in Buddhist philosophy.

Originating from Burma, now known as Myanmar, the statue reflects the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the region. Buddhism has played a pivotal role in Burmese society since its introduction, influencing art, architecture, and daily life. The Shan style is characterized by serene expressions and fluid lines, conveying both tranquility and strength.

This statue is not just an artistic representation but also a spiritual reminder of the teachings of the Buddha, making it a meaningful addition to any collection. Its historical significance and craftsmanship capture the essence of Burmese heritage, inviting admiration and contemplation.
