Product description
Rare and authentic 19th-century statue of a Burmese Buddhist monk in prayer. Hand-carved from wood, lacquered, and gilded, it depicts the monk in a posture of devotion, his hands clasped in Anjali Mudra, a gesture of profound prayer and humility.
The details are exquisitely crafted, notably a golden robe inlaid with glass or precious stones, testifying to the traditional Burmese craftsmanship of the Konbaung dynasty (1752-1885). The delicate fingers, serene expression, and graceful posture highlight exceptional artistry, characteristic of temple sculptures.
Please note that the wood has warped in some areas, revealing small cracks, evidence of its age.
Dimensions: 54 x 17 cm, height 22 cm
Carefully packaged for shipping.
A second statue is available in another listing (see last photo).
