Description

This exquisite 17th century antique marble Buddha statue originates from Burma (Myanmar) and stands 81.5 cm tall. Crafted from high-quality marble, it features the original lacquer and delicate 24-karat gilding, enhancing its striking appearance. The statue's dimensions are 47.5 cm in width and 24 cm in depth, and it weighs 72.45 kg, making it a substantial piece for any collection.

The artistic style of this statue reflects the Ava period of Burmese art, characterized by its serene and graceful forms. This period saw a blend of traditional Buddhist iconography and local artistic influences, resulting in a unique and distinctive style. The statue exhibits a beautiful expression, evoking tranquility and inner peace, which is central to the teachings of Buddhism.

Its posture signifies the Bhumisparsha mudra, also known as the "Earth Touching" gesture, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment when Buddha called upon the Earth to witness his path to awakening. This gesture holds profound significance in Buddhism, representing the overcoming of evil and the attainment of truth.

With its rich history and deep spiritual meaning, this statue stands not only as a decorative piece but also as a significant artifact reflecting Burmese culture and the evolution of Buddhist art over centuries. It is increasingly rare to find such an exceptional piece, making it a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
