Burmese Bronze Arakan Style Seated Buddha, Mid 20th Century, Burma

About the Item

A delightful Burmese cast bronze Buddha in the Arakan style, mid 20th century, Myanmar (Burma). The Buddha sits in the full lotus position, the soles of his feet turned up. His hands perform bhumisparsha mudra, the gesture of calling the earth to witness. One hand rests gracefully in his lap in meditation. The other hand drapes over his leg, fingers extend, reaching down to touch the earth. This gesture commemorates the moment the Buddha reaches enlightenment. The Buddha's robust body is dressed in the simple robes of a monk, with one shoulder and part of his broad chest exposed. A simple shoulder cloth is draped over the other shoulder. His round, plump face is serene, with small features, including heavily lidded almond shaped eyes, flat nose, and a small mouth with full lips. His mouth set in a a lovely smile. Narrow ears with long earlobes that touch his shoulders frame his face. His hair is arranged in small, tight curls that cover the raised ushinisha. The ushnisha topped by flame finial. The Buddha shits upon a stepped, multi-tiered trapezoidal pedestal. The patinated bronze dark, with yellow highlights.

Burmese Carved Hardwood Crowned Buddha Seated in Western Pose, Mid 20th Century

Located in Austin, TX

A sublime Burmese carved, lacquered and gilt hardwood crowned Buddha seated in a "western pose", early to mid 20th century, Burma (Myanmar). The elegant and graceful Buddha is portrayed wearing an elaborate six pointed crown with two large "wings" to the side, and a simple robe wrapped around the body and draped over one shoulder. He is seated upon a high stepped throne, his feet resting upon a double lotus pedestal. The Buddha's face is serene. He stares out in the distance calmly, with eyes slightly downcast, and a slight smile on his face. His long, pendulous earlobes blend in with the wings of the elaborate crown upon his head. A lotus bud finial would originally have surmounted the head, but is now missing. He holds one hand in his lap, palm up in a meditative gesture. His other hand rests gently on his knee. This pose, with the Buddha seated upon a raised throne, with both legs planted on the floor, is often referred to as a "western pose". The pose is most often associated with the Bodhisattva Maitreya...
