Description

This old marble reclining Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar), stands at 33 cm in height, 93 cm in width, and 19 cm in depth, with a weight of 39.1 kg. Crafted in the mid-20th century, it reflects the Mandalay style, characterized by its smooth lines and serene expressions, which embody the tranquility of Buddhist philosophy.

The reclining posture represents the Buddha in a state of peace and nirvana, symbolizing the end of suffering and the attainment of ultimate enlightenment. Such representations are significant in the Buddhist tradition, illustrating the Buddha's teachings on detachment from worldly desires.

Burma has a rich history of Buddhist art, heavily influenced by its geographic position in Southeast Asia and its interactions with various cultures. The artistry of sculptures, particularly those in marble, highlights the intricacy and reverence embedded in Burmese craftsmanship. Artists typically pay homage to this spiritual tradition through detailed ornamentation and careful attention to form, creating pieces that are not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful.

This reclining Buddha statue stands as a testament to the artistry and spiritual heritage of Burma, inviting contemplation and appreciation of the depth of Buddhist teachings and the historical significance of such pieces in the region.
