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 artistry of the Konbaung dynasty (1752-1885). The delicate fingers, serene expression, and graceful posture highlight the exceptional artistry characteristic of temple sculptures.
Dimensions: 54 x 17 cm, height 22 cm
Carefully packaged for shipping.
A second statue is available in another listing (see last photo).
