Description

This exceptional bronze Arakan Buddha statue, dating back to the Laymyo period of the 11th to 12th century, exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of Burma, now known as Myanmar. Standing at 20.5 cm tall, the statue displays traces of 24-karat gilding, adding a touch of historical elegance.

The Arakan style is renowned for its unique blend of local and Indian artistic influences, characterized by intricate details and serene expressions. This particular statue captures the Buddha seated in a posture that reflects tranquility and grace, embodying the essence of Buddhist contemplation.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, represented in this statue, signifies the moment of enlightenment and the Buddha's victory over temptation. This gesture, where the Buddha touches the earth, reminds practitioners of the strength and stability derived from nature and inner wisdom.

Originating from the coastal region of Arakan, a significant area for early Buddhist civilization in Myanmar, this statue not only reflects the spirituality of its time but also serves as a cultural artifact that showcases the evolution of Buddhist art in the region. The blend of historical significance and artistic craftsmanship makes this statue a truly remarkable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
