About the Item

This very large and rare antique Burmese Buddha statue is an extraordinary 18th-century masterpiece crafted in traditional lacquerware and richly gilded with 24 krt. gold. Created in the elegant Shan (Tai Yai) style and depicted in the sacred Bhumisparsha mudra, this impressive statue measures 156 cm high, 102.5 cm wide, and 70 cm deep. Despite its monumental size, it remains relatively lightweight—approximately 40 kg—due to its hollow lacquerware construction, a hallmark of refined Burmese artistry. The piece is in exceptionally good condition, a rarity for sculptures of this age and material. Buddha statues of this scale and craftsmanship are almost never available on the market, making it a truly unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. Originating from Burma (Myanmar), this remarkable statue can be shipped worldwide and serves as an extraordinary focal point for temples, galleries, meditation spaces, or distinguished private collections.
