Description

This exquisite antique Burmese Buddha statue stands at 54 cm tall and showcases remarkable craftsmanship typical of the Amarapura style, characterized by its serene expression and detailed attire. The statue is expertly gilded with 24-karat gold, enhancing its beauty and spiritual significance.

Dating back to the 18th century, this piece not only reflects the artistry of its time but also embodies the rich Buddhist heritage of Burma (Myanmar). The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this statue, symbolizes the moment of enlightenment, where the Buddha calls upon the Earth to bear witness to his transformation. This gesture conveys the essence of overcoming obstacles and attaining inner peace, a central tenet of Buddhism.

Burma has a long and complex history intertwined with Buddhist traditions, serving as a significant center for the faith. The artistry of Buddha statues, especially from the Amarapura period, has influenced the perception of Buddhism across Southeast Asia. This statue, weighing 6.84 kg and measuring 30.5 cm wide by 17 cm deep, serves as a profound representation of the cultural and spiritual identity of the region.

Owning this exquisite piece not only adds elegance to any space but also connects one to the deep philosophical teachings of Buddhism and the heritage of Burma.
