Description

This exquisite antique 17th-century bronze Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar), stands at an impressive height of 44.7 cm and is emblematic of the Nyang Yan period. Crafted with intricate detail, the statue measures 24.3 cm in width and 16 cm in depth, weighing 8.18 kg.

The statue represents a significant cultural artifact, reflecting the rich history and spiritual heritage of Burma. This period was characterized by the flourishing of Buddhist art and architecture, with a focus on elaborately designed figures that encapsulate deep religious significance. The serene expression and poised posture are typical of traditional Burmese sculpture, inviting contemplation and reverence.

The Buddha depicted here is shown in the Bhumisparsha mudra, which signifies a moment of awakening, symbolizing the Buddha's resistance against the temptations of Mara during his enlightenment. This hand gesture conveys a powerful message of inner strength and commitment to spiritual practice.
