This specific piece is a beautiful example of a Crowned Burmese Buddha

(often referred to in art history as a Jambupati style Buddha),

likely originating from the Shan State or the Mandalay period.

The visual focus is heavily weighted on the solid, ornate base of the statue (featuring traditional motifs, including what look like elephant or floral carvings).

This gives the viewer a strong sense of grounding, permanence, and spiritual unshakeability.

19C Wood Sitting Shan Burma Buddha #BB167

Unlike traditional Buddha images that depict him in simple monk's robes after renouncing his worldly possessions, this piece depicts the Buddha as a universal monarch (Chakravartin). The intricate, towering crown with wing-like side elements and detailed body jewelry conveys a feeling of spiritual royalty and supreme authority. It represents the legend where the Buddha manifested himself in magnificent royal attire to humble an arrogant king, Jambupati, proving that spiritual power far eclipses earthly wealth.

****CAT NO: BB167****
DESCRIPTION: Antique Burma Buddha sitting with legs crossed at the ankles, with his right hand onthe knee and the left in his lap (Vajrasana and the Bhumisparsa mudra).

Usually interpreted as the Buddha calling the earth to witness his good deeds in front of Mara

PERIOD: 19th century
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:Shan States, Burma
CONSTRUCTION: Wood

RARITY AND CONDITION: Extremely rare, good condition, some possible cleaning / restoration, expected day to day wear (see photos)

Despite the elaborate, sharp lines of the crown, the Buddha’s face is cast in a soft downward gaze with a faint, serene smile.

This contrast creates a powerful emotional balance: it feels sublime and grand, yet completely devoid of ego.

The hand gesture (Bhumisparsha Mudra, or the earth-witness gesture) reinforces this grounded humility, touching the earth to witness his enlightenment.
