Description

This Antique Burmese Shan Buddha statue, measuring 68.5 cm in height and 35 cm in width, is a remarkable representation of early 18th-century artistry from Burma (Myanmar). Crafted from wood, the statue boasts traces of 24-karat gilding that highlight its intricate designs and divine presence.

The Shan style, originating from the Tai Yai ethnic group, is characterized by its graceful proportions and serene expressions. This statue reflects the deep-rooted Buddhist traditions established in Myanmar, where art and spirituality are intricately intertwined. The pose, known as Bhumisparsha, symbolizes the Buddha's moment of enlightenment and his victory over the demon Mara, who sought to distract him. This mudra serves as a powerful reminder of spiritual awakening and inner peace.

Burma has a rich history of Buddhist influence, evident in its numerous temples and sculptures that date back centuries. The craftsmanship of this statue exemplifies the skilled artisanship of the Shan region, incorporating both stylistic elements and cultural significance. Weighing 11.7 kg and featuring a depth of 22.3 cm, this statue is not only a decorative piece but also a profound cultural artifact that invites reflection and reverence, making it a treasured addition to any collection.
