Description

This exquisite antique wooden Mandalay Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar), stands at 40 cm in height and is a remarkable representation of 19th-century artistry. Gilded with 24 karat gold, this statue features intricately inlaid eyes that enhance its serene expression. The Mandalay style, characterized by its detailed craftsmanship and graceful proportions, reflects the rich cultural heritage of Myanmar, particularly during the era when Mandalay was the royal capital.

The statue embodies the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment when he called the earth to witness his awakening. This gesture signifies the victory of enlightenment over ignorance, inviting observers into a moment of reflection on the themes of mindfulness and spiritual growth.

Burma's history is steeped in Buddhism, which has profoundly influenced its art and architecture. The Mandalay period is uniquely known for its vibrant religious art and sculptures, often serving as focal points in temples and monasteries. The intricate details of this sculpture not only capture the essence of Buddhist teachings but also showcase the exceptional skills of local artisans.

Weighing 4.79 kg and measuring 32.5 cm wide by 24 cm deep, this statue is not only a significant historical artifact but also a striking decorative piece that transcends time and culture.
