Description

This exquisite antique wooden Buddha statue, originating from Burma (Myanmar) in the 17th century, stands at 44.5 cm tall and showcases intricate craftsmanship. Made primarily from wood and gilded with 24-karat gold, its brilliance reflects the artistry of the era, highlighting both spiritual significance and aesthetic beauty.

The statue embodies the Ava style, known for its elegance and intricate detailing, which flourished during the Ava Kingdom (14th to 18th centuries). This period marked a renaissance in Burmese art, where artists began incorporating more naturalistic forms and serene expressions into their sculptures, emphasizing the meditative qualities of the Buddha.

The inviting posture and serene expression of the figure are intentional, designed to evoke a sense of tranquility and mindfulness. The statue's base features a carefully carved lotus pedestal, symbolizing purity and enlightenment, further enhancing its spiritual representation.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this statue, signifies the moment of the Buddha’s enlightenment, where he reaches out to touch the earth, calling upon it as a witness to his awakening. This gesture is one of the most significant in Buddhism, representing the victory over temptation and the attainment of spiritual insight.

This remarkable piece holds not only artistic value but also carries the deep cultural and spiritual essence of Burmese heritage. With a weight of 5.56 kg, it is both a substantial and profound representation of Buddhist philosophy.
