Description

This exquisite antique wooden seated Mandalay Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar), stands at 80 cm and boasts a remarkable presence. Crafted in the 19th century, the statue is gilded with 24 karat gold, enhancing its regal appearance. Characterized by a serene expression, the statue features beautiful inlaid eyes that add depth to its gaze, inviting contemplation and reflection.

The Mandalay style, known for its intricate details and expressive forms, reflects the artistic pinnacle of Burmese Buddhist sculpture. This statue exemplifies the rich cultural heritage of Burma, a country steeped in thousands of years of Buddhist tradition. The craftsmanship reveals the skilled artisanship of the period, where materials like wood were carefully selected to convey spiritual significance and devotion.

This statue features a Bhumisparsha, or "earth-touching" mudra, which symbolizes the moment of enlightenment when the Buddha called upon the Earth to witness his quest for truth. The hand gesture is central to the narrative of Buddha's life, representing realization and steadfastness in the face of trials.

The vibrant colors and elaborate design underline the artistic legacy of the Mandalay region, making this a significant collectible piece that not only serves as a beautiful decoration but also as a meaningful symbol of spiritual teachings. Weighing 29.8 kg and measuring 64 cm in width and 45.5 cm in depth, this Buddha statue makes an impressive addition to any collection.
