Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition Height: 27.0 cm | Width: 20.5 cm | Weight: 1.8 kg This authentic Burmese Buddha statue (27 cm) from the late Mandalay period is entirely handcrafted from a single solid block of Burmese teak wood and represents one of the finest examples of traditional temple art. Despite its compact dimensions, the statue possesses a remarkably substantial weight of 1.8 kg. The refined Thayo lacquer decoration, original Hmankazi mirror inlay, and remnants of historic gold leaf give the sculpture a rich, sacred appearance. Thanks to its exceptionally fully finished back, this statue is attractive from all sides and perfectly suited for a freestanding display. The Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this statue is essential This Shakyamuni Buddha depicts the decisive moment of enlightenment and brings a powerful atmosphere of tranquility, wisdom, and spiritual balance. Bhumisparsha Mudra: With his right hand, the Buddha touches the earth as a witness to his enlightenment. This iconic hand gesture symbolizes inner strength, steadfastness, and the triumph over all temptations. Mandalay Style: The refined facial features, elegant posture, and rich ornamentation are among the most beloved characteristics of classical Burmese sculpture. Freestanding Display: The fully decorated back makes this statue particularly suitable for placement freely in a room or display case, allowing it to be admired from every angle. Spiritual Centerpiece: Thanks to its harmonious composition and warm appearance, the statue forms an impressive focal point of tranquility within both a meditative space and an exclusive interior. Material & Craftsmanship Analysis Monolithic Teak Wood: The sculpture is entirely carved from a single solid block of Burmese teak wood, a durable wood species known for its stability and rich natural grain. Fully Decorated Back: The traditional Thayo lacquer relief and original Hmankazi mirror inlay extend completely over the back of the robe, a rare feature found only in high-quality temple commissions. Historic Gilding: The natural wear of the original gold leaf locally reveals the dark Thit-si lacquer layer, creating an authentic, time-formed patina. Original Temple Construction: The underside is sealed with traditional cinnabar red lacquer and exclusively shows authentic manual tool marks, without modern machine processing or restorations.
