Description

This teak wood Buddha, carved with great finesse, is an ancient and precious piece from Burma. Sitting in a meditation posture, he embodies serenity and wisdom. The statue shows a Buddha in a classic meditation position, with his legs crossed in a lotus position, his hands resting one on top of the other on his knees, in the gesture of concentration (Dhyana Mudra). This posture, calm and balanced, symbolizes the quest for inner enlightenment.

The teak wood, chosen for its robustness and longevity, has been covered with a thin layer of gilding, which over time has taken on a magnificent patina. The gold, once bright, now has shades softened by the years, mixing shades of brown, green and red, the result of natural wear and oxidation. The traces of time add depth and a particular character to the statue, reinforcing its sacred and timeless aspect.

Atop the Buddha’s head, a carved flame rises, a symbol of spiritual enlightenment. This flame, although subtly worn, still retains its graceful form, testifying to the craftsmanship of the artisans who created this piece. The Buddha’s face is one of peace, with delicately carved features and half-closed eyes that seem to contemplate a state of inner tranquility.

The details of the Buddha’s clothing, finely engraved, reveal careful attention to craftsmanship, with folds that fall naturally and follow the shape of the body. The texture of the teak wood, visible under the golden patina, adds an additional richness to the whole, creating a contrast between the raw material and the refined gilding.

This statue, beyond its aesthetic beauty, carries within it a story, that of the devotees who have venerated it over the years, and the generations who have preserved it. It embodies the essence of Buddhist spirituality in Burma and remains a moving testimony to faith and ancient art.
