Description

This large antique wooden Burmese Ava Buddha statue, standing at an impressive height of 97.5 cm, is a remarkable representation of Burmese craftsmanship from the 16th century. Carved from a single piece of teakwood, the statue features traces of its original 24-karat gilding, emphasizing the meticulous artistry involved in its creation.

Originating from the Ava Kingdom, a significant historical period in Myanmar, this statue reflects the region’s deep-rooted Buddhist traditions and the aesthetic influences of its time. The Ava style is characterized by its graceful lines and proportions, combining local artistry with elements influenced by surrounding cultures.

The statue embodies the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture signifying the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment. This pose, where the right hand touches the ground, symbolizes the call to the earth as a witness to his attainment of enlightenment, serving as a powerful reminder of stability and grounding in the quest for truth.

At 34.4 kg, this museum-quality piece is not only a stunning work of art but also a significant cultural artifact, representing the rich spiritual heritage of Burma (Myanmar). Its history and craftsmanship make it a profound addition to any collection, inviting contemplation and reverence.
