Description

This exquisite old marble crowned Buddha statue hails from Burma (Myanmar) and dates back to the mid-20th century. Standing at 67 cm tall and weighing 36.95 kg, the statue holds a commanding presence, beautifully crafted from marble and adorned with traces of 24 karat gilding, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

The statue exemplifies the Shan (Tai Yai) style, characterized by intricate detailing and a serene facial expression that conveys tranquility and enlightenment. The craftsmanship showcases the rich artistic traditions of the region, blending cultural influences from both Buddhist and local artistic practices. The use of gilding adds to the statue's spiritual significance, symbolizing purity and divine light.

In the tradition of Buddhist art, this particular statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, often associated with the historical Buddha's enlightenment. This gesture reflects the moment of attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, representing the overcoming of ignorance and the profound connection to spiritual awakening.

Burma's historical context enhances the statue's cultural significance, as the country has been a bastion of Theravada Buddhism, leading to the creation of myriad sacred artworks that embody deep spiritual meanings. This statue not only serves as a decorative piece but also as a conduit for mindfulness and reflection, rooted in a rich heritage that spans centuries.
