Description

This exquisite antique wooden Burmese Buddha statue, originating from Myanmar, stands elegantly at 61 cm tall. Crafted during the 18th century, it showcases the Shan style, known for its graceful forms and intricate detailing, typical of the Tai Yai ethnic group. The statue is gilded with 24-karat gold, which enhances its spiritual significance and visual appeal.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this statue, symbolizes the moment when Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, calling upon the Earth to witness his enlightenment. This gesture signifies a profound connection to the earth and is often interpreted as a reminder of steadfastness and grounding in one's spiritual journey.

The craftsmanship reflects a rich cultural heritage, with traditional techniques passed down through generations. Myanmar's history is intertwined with Buddhism, making artifacts like this statue essential in understanding the country's spiritual and artistic evolution. The wood, aged gracefully over centuries, adds to the statue's charm and historical significance, making it a perfect addition for collectors and those seeking a connection to the rich traditions of Burmese Buddhism. Weighing 4.35 kg, this statue embodies not only art but also a deep reverence for the teachings of the Buddha, and serves as a timeless symbol of peace and enlightenment.
