Impressive and rare large vintage Buddha on square pedestal, made of gilded wood, entirely Mandalay style, probably from Burma, circa first half of the 20th century or earlier.
Huge statue of no less than 135cm, a real eye catcher in your interior, the statue bears a very nice age patina and is decoratively weathered in the right places, very characterful and super decorative, a true collectors item of size! The statue is covered with dark lacquer and gilding.
Typical of Mandalay Buddhas is a round and youthful face, the Buddha wears a robe (Uttarasanga) that is elaborately folded and decorated with colored pieces of mirror glass, covering the arms and chest.
This object is in good character condition, signs of age and use befitting its age, such as fading of the gilding, some superficial cracks due to age, where the wood has set, one corner of the base has damage, 1 finger is missing , the other has a repair (gluing), but the statue still looks fantastic, check the photos for more details, they are part of the description!
