Description

This very special antique Burmese alabaster Buddha statue from Burma (Myanmar) dates back to the 16th or 17th century, showcasing a rich tradition of craftsmanship. Standing at 76 cm tall, it exhibits a unique blend of artistry with traces of original lacquer and 24-karat gilding, amplifying its historical significance and aesthetic appeal.

The statue is characterized by the Ava style, a prominent artistic movement during the Ava period, which is known for its graceful forms and detailed expressions. The meticulous detailing captures the serene and meditative essence of the Buddha, inviting contemplation and reflection.

The statue features the Bhumisparsha gesture, symbolizing the Buddha's enlightenment and the moment he called upon the Earth to bear witness to his awakening. This gesture, a profound representation of the victory over ignorance, connects deeply with the Buddhist teachings of mindfulness and understanding.

Burma has a rich history intertwined with Buddhism, being one of the earliest regions in Southeast Asia to adopt the religion. The influence of Buddhism is evident in the country's art and culture, making such artifacts invaluable for appreciating the spiritual and historical tapestry of the region. Weighing 40.25 kg and measuring 42 cm in width and 28 cm in depth, this statue serves not only as a decorative piece but also as a profound connection to a significant cultural legacy.
