Description

This Antique Shan Buddha, originating from Burma (Myanmar) and dating back to the 18th century, is crafted from fine marble and stands at a height of 38 centimeters, weighing 11 kilograms. The Shan style, known as Tai Yai, reflects the rich cultural heritage and artistry of the Shan people in Myanmar. Renowned for their spirituality and craftsmanship, this style is characterized by serene facial expressions and elegant proportions, reflecting the Buddhist ideals of tranquility and mindfulness.

The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the moment of enlightenment. This pose represents the historical moment when Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, calling upon the earth to witness his attainment, a deeply significant theme in Buddhist philosophy.

Burma has a long history tied to Buddhism, with vibrant traditions including intricate temple architecture and a diverse array of Buddhist art forms. The Shan region, in particular, is known for its unique interpretations and representations of Buddhist figures, blending local customs with traditional aspects of the faith. This exquisite piece is not just an artifact but a tangible connection to a rich tapestry of beliefs, histories, and artistic expressions, making it a significant addition to any collection.
