This striking antique Burmese Buddha statue stands at an impressive height of 156 cm and is meticulously gilded with 24-karat gold, showcasing the artistry of 18th-century craftsmanship. Made from hollow lacquerware, this statue is both beautifully crafted and relatively lightweight, weighing approximately 40 kg. Its exceptional condition highlights the care taken in its preservation, making it a rare find in today’s market.

Originating from Burma (Myanmar), this statue embodies the rich cultural history of the region, where Buddhism has flourished for centuries. The Shan style, reflected in the statue's elegant details and serene expression, is characteristic of the Tai Yai ethnic group in Myanmar, known for their devout Buddhist practices and artistic traditions.

The statue depicts the Bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture symbolizing the moment of enlightenment. In this pose, the Buddha touches the earth, inviting the earth itself to witness his attainment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This mudra signifies grounding and the realization of truth, making this piece not only a decorative object but also a profound spiritual symbol.

Shipping is available worldwide, allowing art and culture enthusiasts to appreciate this significant piece of Buddhist heritage within their own homes.
