Description

This Antique Mandalay Buddha statue, crafted in the late 19th century during the Mandalay period, represents a significant piece of Burmese artistry. Standing at 38 cm tall and 27 cm wide, this wooden statue is elegantly gold-plated with 24-karat gold, lending it a radiant appearance that captures the essence of Buddhist spiritualism.

The Mandalay style is characterized by intricate details and a serene expression, embodying the tranquil essence of Buddhism. This statue features the Bhumisparsha mudra, where Buddha touches the earth with his right hand, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment and the call of the earth to witness his attainment of nirvana. This gesture is a pivotal representation of steadfastness in the face of adversity.

Burma, or Myanmar, boasts a rich history intertwined with Buddhism, being home to numerous ancient temples and statues that reflect the cultural and spiritual significance of the religion. The Mandalay period, specifically, saw a resurgence in the arts, with artisans developing refined techniques that continue to be celebrated today. This statue not only serves as a religious artifact but also as a historical narrative of Burma's enduring craftsmanship and devotion. Weighing 5.2 kg, it holds both aesthetic and spiritual value, making it a stunning addition to any collection.
