Product description
Antique 19th-Century Burmese Wooden Sculpture – Polychrome This characteristic wooden sculpture from Burma (present-day Myanmar) is a beautiful example of Buddhist folk art. With its weathered appearance and the remaining traces of original polychromy, this object tells a story of decades of devotion and natural aging.
Features & Aesthetics
Authentic Patina: The wood displays a magnificent "dry wood" texture. Its light weight of 700 grams is a direct result of decades of natural drying, confirming its age.
Traces of Color: Clear fragments of the original painting are still present (blue, white, and red), lending the sculpture a unique visual rhythm.
Craftsmanship: Entirely hand-carved from a single piece of wood, including the simple, robust base. The abstract forms are typical of 19th-century regional Burmese woodcarving.
