Description

This exquisite antique Burmese Buddha statue stands at 50.5 cm tall and showcases the rich artistry of Burma (Myanmar) during the 17th to 18th century. Crafted from wood and gilded with 24-karat gold, it embodies both spiritual significance and remarkable craftsmanship, reflective of the era's devotion to Buddhist iconography and artistry.

The Ava style, named after the historically significant Ava Kingdom, captures the serene expression and simple elegance that characterize many Burmese Buddhist works. This statue portrays the Buddha in the Bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment when he called upon the Earth to witness his attainment of Nirvana. This gesture, invoking the solidity and unwavering nature of the Earth, highlights the Buddha’s deeper connection to spiritual truths and the meditative insights he sought.

The intricate details, including the lotus pedestal upon which the statue is seated, reflect the mastery of ancient artisans, making this piece not only a religious icon but also a significant historical artifact. Burma has a long history of Buddhist art, and this statue serves as a testament to the cultural and spiritual richness that has flourished across the region for centuries. Weighing 5.3 kg, it is not just a decorative piece but a significant representation of religious heritage.
