This piece showcases traces of original lacquer and intricate 24-karat gilding, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship and rich cultural heritage of Burmese artisans.

The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture representing the Earth witnessing the enlightenment of the Buddha, symbolizing strength, perseverance, and the relinquishing of worldly desires. Each element, from the serene expression to the delicate hand positions, is infused with deep spiritual significance.

Alabaster Buddha statues of this size and quality are exceedingly rare, making this piece not only a work of art but also a remarkable historical artifact.
