Product description
Antique Wooden Shan Buddha Statue This antique wooden Shan Buddha statue from Burma / Myanmar radiates deep tranquility, simplicity, and spiritual power. The Buddha is seated in the Bhumisparsha mudra, with the right hand touching the earth. This posture refers to the moment of enlightenment, when the Buddha remained steadfast and called upon the earth as a witness. The meaning of this statue lies in grounding, protection, inner certainty, and enlightenment. It is a powerful symbol for those seeking to bring more peace, stability, and spiritual focus into their home or personal space. The posture serves as a reminder to remain steadfast, even amidst unrest, doubt, or change. The statue is hand-carved from wood and exhibits the characteristic Shan style with a high-raised, flame-shaped ushnisha, a subdued facial expression, and elongated, stylized fingers. The weathered lacquer remnants, old patina, shrinkage cracks, and rough wooden base imbue the object with a strong, untouched aura of antiquity. Beneath the base, an old inventory number and a lead collection or export seal are present. This reinforces the historical character of the statue and suggests an older collection or provenance history. Its austere appearance and weathered surface lend this statue a powerful wabi-sabi beauty: pure, honest, and spiritually resonant.
