Description

This very special antique bronze Burmese Buddha statue stands at an impressive height of 36.8 cm. Dating back to the 15th-16th century, this artifact boasts unique historical significance, having been excavated near the ruins of Ava, an influential city in Myanmar's heritage. Known for its craftsmanship, this statue remains in exceptional condition, with traces of the original lacquer and 24 karat gilding still visible.

The statue features the Ava style, characterized by intricate detailing and ornamental designs that reflect the artistic expressions of the Burmese artisans of the time. The figure is seated in a classic position, embodying the essence of tranquility and enlightenment that is central to Buddhist philosophy.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, represented in this statue, signifies the moment of enlightenment, marking Buddha's quest for awakening under the Bodhi tree. This gesture is deeply meaningful, embodying the Buddha's commitment to share wisdom and guide others towards liberation.

Burma, now known as Myanmar, has a rich history steeped in Buddhism, with numerous temples and sculptures reflecting the religion's profound influence on its culture. This statue not only serves as an artistic piece but also as a testament to the enduring legacy of Buddhism in the region. Its authenticity is validated by the Oxford Authentification TL-test certificate, ensuring its genuine historical value.
