Description

This large antique Lotus Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar) and dating back to the 18th century, is a remarkable example of Shan (Tai Yai) artistry. Standing at 72 cm and gilded with 24 karat gold, this statue captures the enduring beauty and spiritual significance of Buddhist iconography.

The statue is adorned with intricate Burmese inscriptions on the front of the base, adding an element of historical context and cultural relevance. The craftsmanship highlights the artistic techniques of the Shan people, who are known for their distinct style that blends local traditions with Buddhist motifs.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, represented in this statue, signifies the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, where he calls the Earth as witness to his awakening. This gesture not only emphasizes the depth of spiritual insight but also connects the viewer to the teachings of Buddhism, offering a sense of peace and mindfulness.

Burma, rich in Buddhist heritage, has been a center of religious art for centuries. The presence of such artifacts not only reflects the historical practice of Buddhist worship but also serves as a testament to the skill of artisans who have preserved these traditions. Weighing 14.9 kg and measuring 39 cm wide, this statue is not only a decorative piece but also a profound reminder of the teachings and legacy of Buddhism.
