Crafted in the 19th century, this statue stands at 45.5 cm in height and is adorned with 24-karat gold gilding, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of the Mandalay period. This style is characterized by its elaborate detail and vibrant gold finish, embodying the artistry prevalent in Burmese Buddhist sculpture.

Its eyes have been inlaid for a captivating effect, accentuating the serene expression that invites contemplation and meditation. Regilded in the mid-20th century, this piece has maintained its magnificence and allure over the years.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, often associated with this style, symbolizes the moment of enlightenment and the calling of the earth to witness the Buddha's awakening. This gesture is significant in Buddhist philosophy, representing the overcoming of obstacles and the attainment of truth.

Burma boasts a rich tradition of Buddhist art, heavily influenced by its historical connections with various dynasties and the spread of Buddhism throughout Southeast Asia.
