Description

This exquisite antique wooden Burmese Shan Buddha statue stands at 12 cm tall and showcases the rich artistry of the Shan (Tai Yai) style, characterized by its elegant detailing and serene expression. Crafted in the 19th century, this statue is gilded with 24-karat gold, reflecting the reverence for Buddhism and the meticulous craftsmanship prevalent during that period.

Originating from Myanmar, this statue embodies the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region. The Shan people, known for their unique traditions, played a significant role in the spread of Buddhism throughout Southeast Asia. The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted here, represents the moment of enlightenment, where the Buddha calls the earth to witness his right to attain enlightenment, symbolizing the triumph over temptation and ignorance.

The rich history of Buddhism in Myanmar is intertwined with artistic expression, as artisans dedicated their skills to produce sculptures that serve as reminders of spiritual teachings. This statue, weighing 77 grams, not only reflects the artistic standards of its time but also invites contemplation and connection to the underlying principles of peace and mindfulness that Buddhism promotes. Its size and intricate design make it a remarkable decorative piece with profound meaning for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
