Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition Height: 20.5 cm | Width: 12.4 cm | Weight: 400 grams This authentic Burmese Buddha (20.5 cm) is an exquisite example of traditional Mandalay sculpture. The sculpture combines a serene, classic Ava physiognomy with richly elaborate mirror inlay and a warm historical patina. Despite its compact size, the statue possesses a striking presence thanks to its harmonious proportions, subtle hand-painted details, and original decorative finish. A unique collector's item that effortlessly fits into a Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, or classic Asian interior. The Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this statue is essential This Buddha represents the core values of Theravada Buddhism: inner peace, wisdom, and compassion. Serene Appearance: The half-closed eyes and relaxed facial expression symbolize deep meditation, inner balance, and complete mastery of body and mind. Ava Physiognomy: The elegant eyebrows, soft facial features, and harmonious proportions are part of the classic aesthetic of the historical Burmese sculptural tradition. Spiritual Presence: With its understated appearance, the statue brings a sense of calm, contemplation, and harmony to any living or meditation environment. Traditional Temple Art: The combination of wood, lacquer, gilding, and mirror decoration reflects centuries-old artisanal techniques from Myanmar. Material & Craftsmanship Hand-painted Details: The eyes are finely finished with subtle linework around the pupils and eye contours, which adds extra depth to the calm gaze. Original Hmankazi Inlay: The pata (forehead band) is adorned with a central rosette of original green and red glass tesserae, framed by historical silvered mirror inlay. Historical Patina: The natural aging of the mirror decoration and surface gives the statue an authentic character that arises exclusively from prolonged age. Traditional Craftsmanship: The combination of fine wood carving, lacquer work, and glass decoration demonstrates the high level of the classic Mandalay workshops.
