Description

This antique wooden Burmese Buddha statue dates back to the 16th century and stands at an impressive height of 63 cm. Crafted from wood, the statue showcases the delicate artistry of Burmese culture, enhanced by several layers of 24k gold leaf. The surface reflects a blend of red and gold, evoking a sense of both reverence and beauty.

Originating from Burma (Myanmar), this statue represents a significant period in the nation’s history, where Buddhism was a dominant influence on art and culture. The Ava period, during which this piece was created, is characterized by the elegance of profile and the serene expressions seen in many statues of the time.

The statue features the Bhumisparsha Mudra, often interpreted as the "Earth Touching" gesture, symbolizing the moment of Buddha's enlightenment and his call to the Earth as a witness to his attainments. This iconic pose embodies the essence of self-realization and grounding in reality, which resonates deeply in Buddhist teachings.

Weighing 7.71 kg and measuring 30.5 cm in width and 22.4 cm in depth, this statue not only serves as a stunning decoration but also as a profound representation of Buddhist spirituality and historical craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Burmese artistry and its profound connection to global cultural heritage.
