Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition Height: 77.0 cm | Width: 30.5 cm | Period: 19th Century This monumental Burmese Buddha statue (77 cm) is an authentic temple sculpture from the late Konbaung dynasty, executed in the classic Mandalay style. Entirely hand-carved from a single solid block of tropical hardwood, the statue possesses an impressive presence and a rich historical aura. The original lacquer layers, remnants of gold leaf, and sparkling mirror glass inlay make this an exceptional example of traditional Burmese temple craftsmanship. The natural aging, historical wood cracks, and authentic patina enhance its character and tell the story of more than a century of religious devotion. The Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this statue is essential This Mandalay Buddha represents the essence of tranquility, enlightenment, and spiritual devotion within the Burmese Buddhist tradition. Shakyamuni Buddha: The statue symbolizes the historical Buddha who achieved complete enlightenment through meditation and wisdom. Its serene appearance invites inner peace and contemplation. Mandalay Style: The elegant body forms, refined facial expression, and harmonious proportions are among the most beloved characteristics of classic 19th-century Burmese sculpture. Temple Tradition: Originally crafted as a religious devotional image, the sculpture reflects the deep spiritual traditions of Myanmar, where Buddha statues are central to daily meditation and veneration. Historical Aura: The visible traces of age and centuries of veneration give the statue an authentic aura that cannot be artificially replicated. Material & Authentic Finish Monolithic Hardwood: The statue is entirely carved from a single solid block of tropical hardwood, a labor-intensive technique exclusively employed by experienced temple artisans. Original Gilding: Remnants of the original gold leaf are still visible. At natural contact points, the gilding has worn away due to years of ritual use, revealing the traditional cinnabar-red primer and black Thit-si lacquer. Mirror Glass Inlay: The crown band (Pata) and the ornamental edges of the robe are richly decorated with hand-cut mirror glass (Hmankazi), set in refined Thayo lacquer relief. Historical Patina: The natural wood cracks, original lacquer layers, and centuries-old traces of use form an integral part of the statue's authenticity and historical value.
