Description

This exquisite antique marble Buddha head originates from Burma (Myanmar) and dates back to the 17th century, showcasing the artistry of the Shan (Tai Yai) style. The work reflects a significant cultural and spiritual heritage, as Buddhism has been an integral part of Burmese society for centuries, influencing art, architecture, and daily life.

The statue measures 54.5 cm in height, 23.5 cm in width, and 20.2 cm in depth, weighing 21.5 kg. Notable for its traces of original lacquer and 24-karat gilding, this piece exudes a sense of timeless beauty and reverence. The gentle expression of the Buddha, characterized by closed eyes and a serene smile, invites contemplation and meditation, embodying the spiritual ideals of inner peace and enlightenment.

In Burmese art, the representation of the Buddha often includes intricate details and symbolic elements, each serving to enhance the viewer's connection to the meditative aspects of Buddhism. This remarkable piece not only serves as a striking decorative item but also as a symbol of the rich spiritual heritage of Burma, encouraging mindfulness and reflection in any space it inhabits.
