Description

This exquisite antique marble Burmese Buddha statue, dating back to the 17th century, exemplifies the artistic mastery of the Shan (Tai Yai) style prevalent in Myanmar. Crafted from lustrous marble, the statue stands at 50.5 cm tall, with dimensions that reflect careful proportioning and attention to detail. The serene visage and tranquil posture convey a sense of calm and peace, characteristic of Buddhist iconography.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, or the gesture of touching the earth, represents the moment of the Buddha’s enlightenment when he called upon the earth as his witness. This gesture is deeply significant in Buddhist tradition, symbolizing the overcoming of temptation and the pursuit of spiritual awakening.

Burma, known for its rich cultural heritage, has a long history intertwined with Buddhism, which arrived in the region in the early centuries CE. The artistic expressions of this faith are vivid in the craftsmanship of its sculptures, often adorned in temples and sacred spaces. The combination of artistic finesse and spiritual symbolism in this statue serves as a reflection of the devotion and craftsmanship of its creators.

Weighing 16.35 kg, this piece is not only a work of art but also a historical artifact that draws collectors and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the spiritual legacy of Myanmar.
