About the Item
Unearth the spiritual grandeur of this Antique Burmese sandstone Buddha statue, an 18th-century masterpiece from Burma (Myanmar) that embodies the sacred artistry and cultural legacy of the Shan (Tai Yai) people. Standing 55.5 cm high with a 31.5 cm width and 19 cm depth, this imposing sandstone sculpture captures the Buddha in the Bhumisparsha mudra—the earth-touching gesture that marks his moment of enlightenment, symbolizing the triumph of wisdom over illusion. Originating from Myanmar’s Shan State, renowned for its fusion of indigenous Tai Yai traditions and Buddhist iconography, this statue showcases the region’s mastery of sandstone carving, with intricate details accentuated by traces of 24-karat gold gilding that once adorned the surface, hinting at its former opulence as a temple or monastic centerpiece.
The weathered texture and earthy patina of the sandstone speak to centuries of veneration, while the fluid drapery of the robes, serene facial features, and elongated earlobes reflect the Shan style’s harmonious blend of grace and spiritual solemnity. Weighing 18.1 kgs, its robust form and meticulous craftsmanship—evident in the lotus throne (padmasana) and mandorla halo—underscore its role in 18th-century Buddhist rituals, possibly part of a larger devotional ensemble. Created during a period of flourishing religious art under Shan Kingdom patronage, this statue bridges the spiritual aspirations of its era with the enduring allure of Southeast Asian heritage. Ideal for collectors of Buddhist antiquities, historians, or spaces seeking a profound connection to Myanmar’s sacred past, this sandstone Buddha is a testament to the Shan artisans’ reverence for both material and divinity. With its museum-worthy preservation and evocative traces of gilded splendor, it invites contemplation of enlightenment, cultural resilience, and the timeless beauty of Burmese craftsmanship.
