Description

This exquisite antique Burmese Buddha statue, standing at 99.5 cm in height, embodies the rich cultural heritage of Burma (Myanmar) with its Shan (Tai Yai) style. Dating back to the 18th century, this statue is a significant representation of Buddhist art, reflecting the artistry and devotion prevalent during this period.

Crafted from lacquerware, the statue displays traces of 24-karat gilding, which enhances its aesthetic appeal and symbolizes the spiritual illumination associated with Buddha. The serene expression on the Buddha's face captures a moment of tranquility, inviting contemplation and peace.

The Buddha is seated with a posture that conveys calmness and poise, often characterized by the Bhumisparsha mudra, which represents the moment of Buddha’s enlightenment when he reached out to touch the Earth, calling upon it to witness his awakening. This gesture signifies the profound connection between the spiritual and earthly realms.

Burma's history is deeply intertwined with Buddhism, with countless artisans dedicating their lives to creating works that honor this spiritual tradition. This antique statue not only serves as a stunning decorative piece but also as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Burmese craftsmanship and the profound teachings of Buddhism that have transcended centuries. Weighing 4.25 kg, it is both a remarkable collectible and a symbol of faith.
