Product description
Antique Burmese Mandalay Buddha Statue This antique Mandalay Buddha statue from Burma / Myanmar possesses precisely the aura that makes this style so beloved: a gentle, meditative gaze, warm old gilding, and a rich temple appearance without feeling harsh or new. It is a statue that immediately brings tranquility to a space. The Buddha is seated in Bhumisparsha mudra, the earth-touching gesture. This mudra refers to the moment when the Buddha achieved enlightenment and called the earth as a witness. The meaning is powerful and timeless: grounding, inner certainty, protection, and overcoming doubt. What makes this statue special is the combination of size, weight, and presence. At 51 cm height and 8.4 kg, it does not feel like a small decorative figurine, but rather a true altar object. The gilded surface, red lacquer undercoat, and small mirror glass details give the statue that typical Burmese temple warmth: gold that doesn't shout, but lives. The underside reveals old wood, traditional construction, and an old collection number. This gives the statue extra character and points to an older collecting history. The detached hand is present and included; this is part of the object's lived-in condition and does not detract from its powerful presence.
