Description

This antique wooden statue of the Mandalay Buddha, originating from Burma (Myanmar), stands at a height of 43.8 cm and showcases exquisite craftsmanship from the 19th century. The statue is gilded with 24 karat gold, giving it a radiant finish that highlights the intricate details of the form and attire.

The Mandalay style, developed during the late 19th century, is characterized by its ornate design and the realistic portrayal of the Buddha's features. This style emphasizes serenity and calmness, reflecting the spiritual essence of Buddhism. The inlaid eyes add to the lifelike quality of the statue, inviting contemplation and turning the viewer's attention inward.

The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, a significant gesture in Buddhist art that symbolizes the moment of attaining enlightenment. In this pose, the Buddha touches the earth, calling upon the Earth to bear witness to his enlightenment and the realization of truth.

Burma has a rich history of Buddhist artistry, with its temples and sculptures reflecting the deep-rooted spirituality of the culture. This statue not only serves as a piece of art but also as a connection to the ancestral traditions and religious beliefs that have shaped Myanmar for centuries. Weighing 6.45 kg, this statue stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Burmese craftsmanship and the profound impact of Buddhism in the region.
