Description

This antique wooden Burmese Mandalay Buddha, standing at 41.5 cm tall and crafted from wood, exemplifies exquisite artistry from the 19th century. Gilded with 24 karat gold, it features intricate detailing that showcases the skill of Burmese artisans. The figure represents the Mandalay style, characterized by its graceful proportions and serene expressions, reflecting deep spirituality and contemplation.

The Buddha is depicted in the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture that symbolizes the moment of enlightenment, where the Buddha calls the Earth to witness his awakening. This mudra conveys a deep connection to the spiritual journey and the profound teachings of Buddhism.

Originating from Burma (Myanmar), this statue not only holds historical significance but also embodies the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Mandalay period, particularly from the late 19th century, is noted for its revival of traditional Burmese craftsmanship, where artisans began to reintroduce older styles and techniques, resulting in highly revered pieces that are collected worldwide today.

Weighing 4.65 kg and measuring 31.8 cm wide by 22.3 cm deep, this Buddha statue serves as a symbolic reminder of peace, wisdom, and the pursuit of enlightenment, making it a meaningful addition to any spiritual or artistic collection.
