Description

This Antique Shan Buddha, originating from Burma (Myanmar), showcases the rich artistry of the 16th century. Standing at 57 cm tall and 31 cm wide, this wooden statue reflects the historical significance of Buddhism in the region, where it has flourished for centuries, deeply influencing cultural practices and artistic expressions.

The Shan style is evident in the Buddha's serene expression and the intricate details of his robe, emphasizing simplicity and mindfulness. Traces of gold adorn the statue, hinting at its former grandeur and the importance placed on such representations in spiritual contexts. The figure's posture suggests meditation and contemplation, inviting viewers to explore their own inner peace.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, often associated with the moment of enlightenment, symbolizes the Buddha's victory over Mara, illustrating his path to spiritual awakening. This gesture conveys a profound message of grounding and stability, resonating strongly with practitioners and collectors alike.

Burma’s history as a melting pot of diverse ethnicities and traditions is beautifully encapsulated in this piece, making it not just a decorative artifact but a significant representation of the region's spiritual heritage. This statuary embodies a tangible connection to the past, offering insight into the artistic and religious evolution within Myanmar throughout the centuries.
