Description

This exquisite 12th-century Pagan votive tablet is a remarkable piece of history originating from Burma (Myanmar). Rising to a height of 19.9 cm, with dimensions of 15 cm in width and 9 cm in depth, this terracotta artifact embodies the artistic traditions of the Bagan period, a significant era known for the proliferation of Buddhist monuments and art.

The tablet showcases an intricately rendered depiction of a seated Buddha, surrounded by symbols of enlightenment, such as bell-shaped stupas. Its design reflects the spiritual devotion of the time, as votive tablets were commonly used by devotees to express reverence and as offerings within temples.

Crafted during the Pagan dynasty, this piece belongs to a period marked by the flourishing of Buddhism in the region, where thousands of pagodas were constructed, and artistic expressions of faith were highly valued. This votive tablet, weighing 1.31 kg and still in very good condition, serves not only as a religious artifact but also as a testament to the historical and cultural richness of Burma.

Acquiring this unique piece allows one to connect with the spiritual heritage of the Bagan era, making it a special addition to any collection of historical artifacts or religious art.
