Description

This remarkable antique wooden Buddha statue originates from Burma, now known as Myanmar, and dates back to the 19th century. Standing at a height of 39.5 cm and crafted from wood, this piece embodies the artistic excellence of the Mandalay region, famous for its intricate and divine depictions of Buddhist figures. The statue is exquisitely gilded with 24-karat gold, highlighting the beauty and significance of the Buddha in spiritual practice.

The figure of the Buddha is depicted in a seated position, with an air of serenity and calm. The statue’s style reflects the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship that flourished in Burma during the 19th century, a time when Buddhist art played a critical role in the spiritual life of the nation. The attention to detail in this statue is evident, from the gracefully poised hands to the intricate designs on the base, showcasing traditional motifs.

This piece not only serves as a stunning decorative element but also as a reflection of the profound religious traditions of Myanmar. The Bhumisparsha mudra, indicated in the statue's design, symbolizes the moment of enlightenment and the calling of the earth to witness the Buddha’s awakening, making this statue a significant relic for both collectors and practitioners of Buddhism alike.
