About the Item
This antique Burmese marble Shan Buddha, originating from Myanmar, stands gracefully at a height of 42.5 cm, with a width of 23 cm and a depth of 14 cm. Crafted in the 18th century, this delicate piece reflects the rich Buddhist heritage and artistic tradition of the Shan ethnic group, also known as the Tai Yai.
The statue is made from fine marble, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship that has characterized Burmese art for centuries. The Shan style is renowned for its serene expressions and elegant forms, emphasizing harmony and tranquility. This particular Buddha is depicted in a seated position, a common representation symbolizing calm and meditation.
The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this statue, represents the moment of enlightenment when Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, defeated the demon Mara. This gesture signifies the Buddha’s resolve and determination to attain Nirvana, embodying themes of spiritual awakening and inner peace.
Buddhism has a profound and complex history in Myanmar, where it has been a central part of the culture for centuries. The proliferation of handcrafted statues like this one reflects the deep spiritual connection that the Burmese people have with their beliefs, making each piece not just a work of art but a representation of their enduring faith and history. This remarkable Shan Buddha is a meaningful addition to any collection, embodying centuries of tradition and devotion.
