18th-19th Century Burmese Pyinsarupa Figure - Heavily Patinated Brass or Mixed Metal

Item Details

Description

18th-19th Century Burmese Pyinsarupa Figure - Heavily Patinated Brass or Mixed Metal. Elaborately crafted this piece at one time would have housed semi-precious stones in the depressions covering the body. The Pyinsarupa is a Chimera type of creature of Burmese Mythology. The Pyinsarupa is made of parts of an elephant, a bullock, a horse, a white carp and a Tonaya (mythical horned Leo dragon), or alternately a lion, an elephant, a water buffalo, a white carp, and a Hamsa. This one has horns like a deer on top of its head which seems to be a variance from what is the norm for the Pyinsarupa creature. It is believed that the Pyinsarupa was invented by the monks to be a symbolic protector for children to save them from being stomped and eaten by a Belu (like a mythical orc). An interesting piece from Burmese Mythology. The tail appears to be missing a piece of what would have been the carps tail. Past that it is in very good condition for its age. The Pyinsarupa is similar to the Nawarupa that is also part of Burmese Mythology. Measures 4 5/8" tall and 4 1/2" long
