Description

This remarkable antique bronze Shan Buddha statue, measuring 57.5 cm in height and weighing 15.95 kg, exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and spiritual significance of the Shan (Tai Yai) culture of Burma (Myanmar). Dating back to the 17th to 18th century, this statue represents a unique blend of artistic styles that encapsulates the region's rich history.

The Shan people, predominantly living in the eastern regions of Burma, have a long-standing tradition of Buddhism, profoundly affecting their art and culture. This statue is an embodiment of that legacy, showcasing the distinct characteristics of Shan art, which often combines elegant forms with intricate detailing.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in the statue, signifies the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, where he touches the earth to bear witness to his spiritual awakening. This gesture conveys a deep connection to the earth and is a symbol of stability and grounding in Buddhist practice.

Crafted from bronze, this three-part statue features a unique earthy patina that adds to its historical depth, reflecting centuries of reverent veneration. Its wide base and graceful posture embody the tranquility and wisdom inherent in Buddhist philosophy, making it a meaningful addition to any collection or spiritual space. This Shan Buddha not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also invites contemplation on the teachings of the Buddha, making it a very special artifact.
