Description

This remarkable antique bronze Buddha statue, hailing from Burma (Myanmar), represents the exquisite Shan style, also known as Tai Yai. Crafted in the 17th century, it stands at 48 cm tall, showcasing not only the artistry of the period but also the spiritual significance associated with such pieces. The statue is characterized by its elegant crowned design, complemented by intricate details, particularly in the ornate crown and backdrop.

The crowned Buddha embodies a rich history in Burmese culture, often denoting the Buddha's royal status and his connection to the divine. The delicate engravings reflect the fine craftsmanship of the Shan artisans, who blended local influences with religious themes, resulting in a unique aesthetic that captures both beauty and reverence.

One notable feature of this statue is the Bhumisparsha mudra, which signifies the Buddha's moment of enlightenment and his call to the earth to bear witness to his attainment. Although there is a minor, nearly invisible restoration on the left crown, it adds to the authenticity of the piece without detracting from its overall beauty.

Weighing 3.68 kg and measuring 20.4 cm in width and 13.6 cm in depth, this statue is a testament to the artistry of its time, representing not just a piece of art, but a profound spiritual symbol rooted in centuries of tradition.
