This exquisite 18th-century Burmese Shan Buddha statue, originating from Myanmar, represents a significant period in the country’s history when Buddhist art flourished under the patronage of local kings. Crafted from wood and gilded in 24-karat gold, this statue showcases the elegance and spiritual essence of the Shan style, known for its refined details and serene expressions.

Measuring 74.5 cm in height, with a width of 41 cm and a depth of 29.5 cm, this statue exudes a sense of tranquility and grace. The Shan artistic tradition reflects the cultural interplay of various influences, blending elements of Buddhist symbolism with local artisanal craftsmanship, which is evident in the delicate features and ornate adornments of the figure.

The pose of the Buddha captures the Bhumisparsha mudra, representing the moment of enlightenment and the calling of the Earth to witness the Buddha’s attainment of nirvana. This gesture signifies an important spiritual narrative in Buddhist teachings, illustrating determination and the quest for truth.

Throughout history, Burmese artisans have carved such statues as expressions of devotion and as focal points for worship and meditation. This particular piece weighs 13.4 kg, embodying the rich heritage and artistic legacy of Myanmar, making it a very special addition for collectors and enthusiasts of Buddhist art.
