Description

Crafted in the 19th century, this antique wooden Burmese Lotus Buddha statue exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of Burma (Myanmar). Standing at 38.7 cm tall and adorned with 24-karat gold, the statue showcases the intricate craftsmanship that characterizes Burmese religious art. The inlaid eyes imbue the figure with a lifelike presence, inviting contemplation and reverence.

The Lotus Buddha position often highlights the significance of the lotus flower in Buddhist symbolism, representing purity and enlightenment emerging from the murky waters of existence. This particular statue features the Bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment when he called upon the Earth to witness his achievement. This gesture embodies the themes of overcoming ignorance and the search for truth.

The design includes a careful craftsmanship with a drawer at the back of the base, intended for storing relics, an element deeply rooted in Buddhist tradition. The dimensions of 36.2 cm in width and 25.6 cm in depth further complement its graceful form.

Burmese culture has a long history of Buddhist influence, with artisans using a variety of materials and styles to express spiritual devotion. This statue, weighing 6.05 kg, not only serves as a striking decorative piece but also embodies the philosophical underpinnings and historical richness of Buddhism in Myanmar.
