Description

This exquisite antique Burmese marble Buddha statue, measuring 56.5 cm in height, 31 cm in width, and 18 cm in depth, showcases the distinct Shan (Tai Yai) style, which emerged during Burma's vibrant 17th-century cultural period. Renowned for its serene expression and meticulous craftsmanship, it represents a significant artistic achievement in Buddhist iconography.

The statue is sculpted from fine marble, a material prized for its durability and elegance. The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in the figure, symbolically represents the moment of Buddha's enlightenment, where he calls the earth to bear witness to his spiritual awakening. This gesture is central to Buddhist teachings and reinforces the statue's importance as a devotional object.

Burma, now known as Myanmar, has a rich history of Buddhism that influences its cultural landscape profoundly. The country has long been a center for the development of Buddhist art, and the Shan states contributed significantly to this heritage. The artistry of this statue reflects not only its religious importance but also the unique cultural traditions of the Burmese people.

With a weight of 20.85 kg, this antique piece not only serves as a captivating decorative item but also as a meaningful representation of Burmese spirituality and history, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
