Description

This large antique Mandalay Buddha statue, originating from Burma (now Myanmar) and dating back to the 19th century, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. Measuring 86 cm in height, with a width of 62 cm and a depth of 55 cm, this exquisite piece exhibits traces of the original 24 karat gilding, adding to its special appeal.

The Mandalay style, known for its intricate detailing and expression, showcases the artistry of Burmese craftsmen. The Buddha is depicted seated in a traditional posture that conveys serenity and contemplation. This particular statue features the Bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment, where the Buddha calls the Earth to witness his resolve to attain enlightenment.

Burma's history is deeply intertwined with Buddhism, which has influenced the art, culture, and daily life of its people for centuries. The Mandalay period, in particular, is noted for its contributions to Buddhist sculpture and painting, serving as a center for religious art. This statue not only serves as a spiritual symbol but also stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and devotion of its creators, making it a remarkable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of cultural artifacts.
