Description

This exquisite 12th-century Pagan votive tablet from Burma, made of terracotta, measures 20.5 cm in height, 15 cm in width, and 9 cm in depth. Weighing 1.32 kg, this artifact represents an era marked by remarkable devotion and artistic skill during the Bagan period. The votive tablet features a seated figure, often associated with Buddhist iconography, symbolizing serenity and enlightenment.

The Pagan Kingdom, flourishing from the 9th to the 13th century, is renowned for its rich cultural and religious heritage, primarily influenced by Theravada Buddhism. It was a time when thousands of stupas and temples were constructed, making the Bagan plains a UNESCO World Heritage site today. This tablet is a testament to the craftsmanship of that era, often used by devotees as an offering or prayer object, reflecting their hopes for spiritual merit and protection.

Still in excellent condition, this votive tablet captures the essence of Buddhist teachings, serving as a valuable piece of historical significance and artistic expression. Its carefully crafted details reveal the techniques and styles that characterized Bagan art, making it an intriguing addition to any collection focused on spiritual artifacts or Southeast Asian history.
