Standing at 51.5 cm tall, this statue features intricate details, highlighted by traces of 24k gilding that add to its historical allure. The Shan style, also known as Tai Yai, reflects the unique cultural influences of the Shan people, who inhabit the eastern regions of Myanmar.

Originating from Myanmar, a country rich in Buddhist traditions, this statue encapsulates centuries of devotion and craftsmanship. The Shan Buddhist art form frequently employs natural materials and emphasizes the serene expressions typical of this genre. Its craftsmanship is a testament to the skilled artisans who dedicated their lives to creating items for worship and reflection.
