This impressive antique Buddha statue, standing at 140 cm tall and 125 cm wide, originates from Burma (Myanmar) and dates back to the 19th century. Renowned for its craftsmanship, the statue is crafted from wood and features intricate inlays of stones and glass, giving it a stunning visual appeal. The eyes are also inlaid, contributing to the piece's unique and expressive character.

Historically, this statue once served as the centerpiece in a temple, emphasizing its spiritual significance in local culture. The traces of its original 24-karat gilding highlight the attention to detail and craftsmanship typical of Mandalay-style statues, characterized by their serene expressions and ornamental detailing.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, which depicts the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, is particularly meaningful, symbolizing the calling of the earth to witness his enlightenment, reinforcing themes of stability and groundedness.

Burma's rich artistic heritage is reflected in this statue, as Buddhist art has thrived in the region for centuries, influenced by both indigenous styles and external traditions. This magnificent statue not only represents a significant historical artifact but also embodies the enduring legacy of Burmese culture and spirituality.
