Description

This old Burmese reclining Buddha statue, crafted in the middle 20th century, embodies a rich cultural heritage from Myanmar (Burma). Measuring 28.5 cm in height, 50 cm in width, and 17.2 cm in depth, this exquisite piece is made from lacquerware, heavily gilded with 24-karat gold, reflecting the age-old tradition of gold leaf application in Burmese artistry.

Reclining Buddha statues hold profound significance in Buddhist iconography, representing the Buddha in a state of serene repose, symbolizing peace and enlightenment. This particular style, influenced by the Mandalay school of art, captures the distinctive elegance and intricate detailing characteristic of Burmese craftsmanship. The figure’s relaxed pose invites contemplation and meditation, serving as a reminder of the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness and tranquility.

Historically, Myanmar has a deep-rooted connection to Buddhism, with the religion playing a pivotal role in shaping its cultural and artistic landscape. The gold detailing in this statue not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also symbolizes spiritual purity and divine wisdom. Weighing 707 grams, this statue is not merely a decorative object; it is a testament to the country's rich artistic lineage and devotional practices, making it a meaningful addition to any collection or spiritual setting.
