Description

This antique bronze Burmese crowned Buddha statue, measuring 52.3 cm in height and featuring traces of original 24-carat gilding, represents a significant artifact from the 17th century. Originating from Burma (now Myanmar), a country with a rich heritage of Buddhism and artistry, this statue embodies the Shan (Tai Yai) style, characterized by its intricate detailing and spiritual significance.

The figure is depicted seated in a traditional pose, adorned with a regal crown, which signifies enlightenment and spiritual authority. Notably, the upper part of one crown has been broken, adding historical authenticity to the piece. Weighing 5.22 kg, the statue is not only a striking decorative item but serves as a profound symbol of devotion and tranquility.

Buddhism thrives in Myanmar, where art and religious practices intertwine seamlessly. The Shan people, known for their unique interpretations of Buddhist iconography, have crafted numerous significant works throughout history. This statue bears witness to the artistry of the time and provides a glimpse into the cultural landscape of 17th century Burma.

This piece serves as a conversation starter for collectors and enthusiasts alike, capturing the essence of Buddhist spirituality and the creativity inherent in Burmese craftsmanship.
