This exceptional antique bronze Buddha statue from Burma (Myanmar) dates back to the 17th century, specifically during the Nyaung Yan Dynasty. Standing at 35 cm tall and weighing 2.39 kg, this piece showcases the intricate craftsmanship of its era, embodying a serene presence with a rich historical context.

The statue exhibits traces of its original 24-karat gilding, adding to its aesthetic appeal and historical value. It reflects the artistry of the Ava style, which is renowned for its detailed representation of the Buddha, characterized by gentle facial features and graceful postures. Such statues were often created to inspire meditation and spiritual practice among followers.

The seated position of the Buddha, combined with the Bhumisparsha mudra, signifies the moment of enlightenment and the Buddha’s call to the Earth as a witness to his path to awakening. This particular representation is integral to Buddhist iconography, symbolizing the triumph over ignorance and illusion.

Burma has a long history of Buddhist tradition, with a plethora of cultural influences shaping its art and religious practices. This statue not only represents an important piece of Burmese heritage but also stands as a testament to the profound spiritual journey that Buddhism encapsulates. Its provenance from an Italian private collector further affirms its significance and rarity in the world of antique artifacts.
