Description

This exceptional antique wooden Burmese Buddha statue, standing at 143 cm tall and originating from Burma (Myanmar), is a remarkable example from the early Mandalay period of the 19th century. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the statue features traces of original 24 karat gilding, highlighting its historical significance and masterful artistry. The intricate sanghati draping elegantly adorns the figure, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship characteristic of this period.

The style reflects the artistic traditions of Mandalay, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and dedication to Buddhist art. This era is marked by increased emphasis on detailed ornamentation and expressive forms in sculpture, making this piece a stunning representation of the religious and cultural values of its time.

Mandalay, once the last royal capital of Burma, has long been a center of Buddhism, where artisans created works that not only serve as spiritual representations but also as embodiments of the cultural identity. The statue weighs 21.45 kg and measures 54 cm in width and 27 cm in depth, making it a solid yet graceful presence for any setting.

This statue is not just a work of art; it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Burmese craftsmanship and the deep spiritual beliefs that have thrived in this region for centuries.
