Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition
Height: 87.5 cm | Width: 35.0 cm | Weight: 5.6 kg
This monumental Burmese standing Buddha statue (87.5 cm) is a documented design object from 1969 and represents the characteristic Mandalay style from the late Mid-Century period. With its impressive height, generous volume, and weight of 5.6 kg, the statue forms a striking eye-catcher within both modern and classic interiors. The warm lemon-yellow lacquer, the serene white face, and the natural craquelure give the statue an authentic vintage look typical of export productions from the late 1960s.
Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this statue is essential
This standing Buddha embodies peace, compassion, and spiritual protection, bringing a harmonious atmosphere to any space.
**Standing Buddha:** The upright posture symbolizes the active presence of the Buddha in the world. It stands for protection, compassion, and guiding others on the path to enlightenment.
**Mandalay Style:** The elegant body forms, soft facial expression, and flowing lines are among the most recognizable features of classical Burmese art.
**Interior Statement:** Thanks to its monumental size, this statue forms a powerful visual centerpiece that adds peace, balance, and sophistication to a living space, reception area, or meditation room.
**Design History:** As a documented export object from 1969, this statue represents not only spiritual symbolism but also an important chapter in 20th-century Asian design history.
Material & Authentic Finish
**Documented Provenance:** The original handwritten inventory number from 1969 is located on the underside of the robe, a rare preserved feature that refers to the original export registration.
**Historical Craquelure:** The characteristic craquelure in the white face and the lemon-yellow robe is the natural result of decades of aging of the original oil/alkyd lacquer and forms an important authenticity feature.
**Original Lacquer Finish:** The vibrant lemon-yellow color belongs to the characteristic color palette of Burmese export production from the late 1960s and reflects the style development of this period.
**Vintage Construction:** The compact wooden core with layered lacquer build-up ensures a solid construction and an authentic appearance typical of quality productions from this transitional period.
