Description

This special antique bronze Shan Buddha statue from Burma, dated to the 18th century, stands at a height of 43.5 cm and weighs 6.64 kg, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. The statue reflects the Shan (Tai Yai) artistic style, known for its graceful lines and serene expressions, contributing to the overall tranquility that Buddhist art embodies.

The statue features a beautiful countenance, skillfully capturing the essence of peace and enlightenment. Inscriptions on the backside of the base likely denote the name of the donor, adding a personal historical element to this artifact. The dimensions are thoughtfully designed at 17.4 cm wide and 11.8 cm deep, making it a captivating centerpiece for any collection.

Burma, rich in Buddhist heritage, has long been a significant region for the spread of Buddhism across Southeast Asia. The Shan people, primarily residing in the Shan State of Myanmar, merged local artistic traditions with Buddhist influences, culminating in distinctive sculptures that convey spiritual teachings.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the Buddha's moment of enlightenment, is represented in this statue; however, specific details of the mudra are not described. This piece offers not just aesthetic appeal but also a profound connection to the deep history and culture of Buddhism in Burma.
