Description

This impressive large bronze Shan Buddha statue, measuring 95.5 cm in height, represents a significant artifact from Burma (Myanmar) with a distinguished history dating back to the 18th century. Crafted in the Shan style, which is characterized by elegance and serenity, this statue embodies the rich cultural heritage of the region.

The statue features traces of original lacquer and gilding, highlighting the artistry and craftsmanship involved in its creation. The Shan tradition of Buddhist sculpture is known for its detailed workmanship, often portraying serene expressions and intricate adornments, reflecting the spiritual depth of the Buddhist faith.

The statue exhibits the Bhumisparsha mudra, which symbolizes the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha calls the earth to witness his attainment of awakening. This gesture conveys themes of stability and grounding, providing an anchor for those who encounter it.

Acquired in 2021 from a private collector in Belgium, this statue remains in very good condition, weighing 58.55 kg and measuring 73.5 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Its provenance adds to its historical significance, connecting it to both the spiritual traditions of Myanmar and the appreciation of art collectors worldwide. The Shan Buddha serves as a powerful manifestation of faith and cultural identity, making it a remarkable addition to any collection.
