This stunning 16th-17th century North Thai Buddha statuette stands at 27.5 cm in height and 18 cm in width, crafted from bronze and featuring remnants of 24-karat gold that highlight its exquisite artistry. Originating from Myanmar (Burma), this piece exemplifies the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the region, where Buddhist artistry flourished during this period.

The statue is notable for its depiction of the Bhumisparsha mudra, which symbolizes the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, as he touches the earth in witness to his truth. This mudra carries deep significance in Buddhist tradition, representing the overcoming of temptation and the attainment of spiritual knowledge.

North Thai art is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors, often embellished with gold leaf. This statue is a fine example of the craftsmanship from the era, showcasing not only religious devotion but also the skill of the artisans who created it.

The historical context of this Buddha reflects the region's prevalent Theravada Buddhist beliefs, which have shaped its culture and art for centuries. The piece is not only a decorative object but also a window into the spiritual aspirations and artistic legacy of Northern Thailand's past. Adding this remarkable statue to your collection offers a connection to a significant historical and cultural narrative.
