Crafted during the 14th to 15th century, this exquisite piece embodies the rich artistic heritage of the Arakan region, known for its unique blend of indigenous and Buddhist artistic influences.

The statue features a detailed representation of the Buddha in a serene seated posture, showcasing intricate craftsmanship typical of the Arakan style. Notable for its robust physique and ornate details, the statue demonstrates the skillful use of bronze, which allows for both durability and aesthetic appeal. The decorative crown and jewelry further highlight the fusion of spirituality and artistry, emphasizing the reverence of the Buddhist tradition.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted by Buddha's gesture of touching the earth, symbolizes enlightenment and the calling of the earth as a witness to his resolve. This significant gesture conveys the Buddha's victory over the trials faced prior to achieving enlightenment, encapsulating a key moment in Buddhist history.

The Arakan region has historically been a melting pot of cultures, where Buddhism thrived alongside other traditions, enriching its artistic expressions. This statue, weighing 1.66 kg, not only serves as a spiritual artifact but also as a testament to the cultural resilience and artistic legacy of Burma.
