Description

This antique wooden Tai Lue Buddha statue, originating from Laos, stands at a height of 49.5 cm and is intricately gilded with 24-karat gold. Crafted in the 19th century, it exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of the Tai Lue, an ethnic group known for their devotion and authentic craftsmanship. The statue measures 17.5 cm in width and 11.2 cm in depth, with a weight of 1.86 kg, making it a substantial addition to any collection.

The posture of the Buddha is notable for its serene presence, embodying enlightenment and tranquility. The Bhumisparsha mudra depicted—symbolizing the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment—reflects a profound depth of meaning in Buddhist iconography. This gesture communicates the overcoming of Mara, signifying the triumph of spiritual awakening.

In Laos, Buddhist practices and artistic traditions are deeply intertwined, reflective of both historical and cultural narratives that have flourished over centuries. The use of gilding highlights the significance of gold in Buddhist art, representing purity and spiritual wealth. This statue is not merely a decorative piece; it carries with it the spiritual essence and artistic tradition of its origin, inviting contemplation and appreciation of its historical journey through time.
