Description

This exquisite Old Wooden Burmese Buddha Statue stands at 78 cm tall and showcases the intricate craftsmanship characteristic of early 20th-century Myanmar. Gilded with 24 karat gold, this statue reflects the opulence and devotion embodied in Burmese art. It features the Amarapura style, noted for its serene expression and delicate detailing.

The statue's posture reflects a significant moment in Buddhist iconography represented by the Bhumisparsha mudra, which symbolizes the moment of the Buddha’s enlightenment. The gesture of touching the earth signifies the Buddha’s connection to the world and his triumph over earthly temptations.

Originating from Burma, known today as Myanmar, this statue is part of a rich cultural heritage that dates back centuries. The country is renowned for its profound spiritual traditions and stunning artistic endeavors, particularly in Buddhism. The Amarapura period was especially significant, marking a phase of artistic rejuvenation that emphasized detailed ornamentation and elaborate forms, typical of the spiritual narrative it conveys.

Weighing 19.6 kg and with dimensions of 48.5 cm in width and 33 cm in depth, this statue embodies both weight and presence, making it a powerful symbol of peace and reflection. Owning this piece not only adds elegance to your space but also connects you to the profound history and artistry of Burma’s Buddhist legacy.
