Product description
Antique Burmese Buddha - Hand-carved Teak Wood with Gold Leaf - 29cm
This authentic 19th-century Buddha from Myanmar (Burma) is a beautiful example of religious craftsmanship. The statue is hand-carved from a single solid block of heavy teak wood, which is immediately apparent from its significant weight of 1.4 kg.
Key features:
Guaranteed authenticity: Microscopic examination confirms the natural craquelure and the historical layering of black Thitsi lacquer, red pigment, and original gold leaf.
Solid Teak Wood: At 1.4 kg, this statue is exceptionally heavy for its size, underscoring the high quality of the heartwood used.
Ritual history: The base contains a deep, original cavity that was used for the consecration of the statue with sacred texts or relics.
Unique Patina: Not a reproduction, but an honest antique piece with a lived-in appearance that reflects decades of devotion.
