Crafted in the 18th century, this masterpiece features intricate detailing, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of Burma, now known as Myanmar.

The Lotus Buddha symbolizes purity and enlightenment, seated comfortably on a lotus pedestal that signifies spiritual awakening. The choice of wood as a medium adds warmth and depth, while the gold finish elevates its importance as a sacred object. The stature is representative of traditional Burmese craftsmanship, which often emphasizes graceful forms and expressive features.

The statue is rendered in the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture that embodies the moment of enlightenment. In this pose, the Buddha touches the earth, symbolizing determination and the call for witness to his enlightenment, asserting his connection to the earth and the universe.

Myanmar has a long history steeped in Buddhist traditions, with thousands of pagodas and statues adorning its landscapes. This Antique Wooden Burmese Lotus Buddha not only serves as a decorative artifact but also as a spiritual piece, inviting contemplation and reflection. Weighing 5.6 kg and measuring 31 cm in width and 25.4 cm in depth, this statue is a remarkable representation of the harmonious blend of art and spirituality inherent in Burmese culture.
