Description

This exceptional 18th-century statue represents a Special Antique Bronze Shan Buddha from Burma (Myanmar), standing at an impressive height of 56 cm. Crafted from bronze, this statue showcases the Shan style, also known as Tai Yai, which blends intricate artistry with cultural significance. The style is characterized by elegant lines and a serene expression that embodies the essence of Buddhist teachings.

Over the years, this statue has been gilded with multiple layers of 24-karat gold, enhancing its beauty and spiritual value. The weight of the statue, approximately 21.2 kg, reflects the substantial craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. Dimensions of 39.8 cm in width and 27.5 cm in depth further illustrate its commanding presence.

Historically, Buddhism has thrived in Myanmar for centuries, profoundly influencing the nation’s art and culture. The Bhumisparsha mudra— associated with this statue—symbolizes the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, as he touches the earth, calling it to witness his attainment of Nirvana. This gesture conveys a powerful message of overcoming ignorance and awakening.

The Shan Buddha not only serves as a remarkable artifact of historical significance but also as a source of inspiration, reflecting the rich spiritual heritage of Myanmar. This unique piece is a perfect addition for collectors and enthusiasts of Buddhist art.
