Item Details

Description

Southeast Asia, Burma (Myanmar), ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A sizable, hand-carved wooden rendition of Buddha seated with crossed legs atop an integral, tiered plinth with flowers, leaves, and incised crosshatch motifs, all enrobed in dark brown lacquer and accentuated with golden gilt. Buddha presents with an upright posture, wears a folded robe over his left shoulder, and positions his hands in the Bhumisparsha - or "earth witness" - mudra. Incised striations delineate the lining of his vestments, sleeve and ankle cuffs, individual fingers, and his neckline. His countenance bears serene, downcast eyes beneath heavy lids and sweeping brows, a slender mouth above a rounded chin, elongated ear lobes signifying his renunciation of materialistic wealth, and a thick brow band, all beneath a nodule-form coiffure and a piriform flaming ushnisha finial. A hollow interior cavity beneath the base was intended for worshippers of Buddha to insert written prayers and holy scriptures. Size: 11" W x 30" H (27.9 cm x 76.2 cm); 32.25" H (81.9 cm) on included custom stand.

Buddhas can display various mudras (hand gestures or poses) that represent historical moments in Buddha's life, forms of meditation, or a symbolic combination of both. This Buddha displays the Bhumisparsha (earth touching) mudra, with the right hand placed over the right knee, palm inward, reaching towards his lotus throne and beyond this, the earth. He places his left hand in his lap with the palm upwards toward the celestial realm. This mudra represents the moment of his awakening, as Buddha defeated the demon Mara, and claimed the earth as his witness to his enlightenment. An impressive example of Buddhist visual culture, replete with immense artistry and numerous layers of meaning. A breathtaking symbol of peace, representing wisdom, balance, generosity, and compassion.
