Burmese Buddha Fragmentary Lacquered Wood Bust, Ava Period, 17th/18th Century

About the Item

A mysterious and evocative heavily weathered and fragmentary bust of a Burmese standing Buddha, Ava Period, late 17th or early 18th century, Burma (Myanmar). The near life-sized image of the Buddha is carved from a single timber, and would originally have portrayed the Buddha in a standing position, his hands in abhaya mudra, the gesture of dispelling fear. While the Buddha's visage is mostly intact, the rest of the body has suffered severe weathering, with only the torso and one partial arm remaining. The back showing much more drastic weathering and insect damage, with the torso nearly hollowed out. The Buddha's pleasing face displays the typical Ava features, with a heart shaped face, plump lips, a strong nose, and high arched brows. The Buddha's looks outwards out through heavily lidded and downcast eyes, his mouth pursed in a sweet smile. One ear remains, the earlobe extended to touch his shoulder. The Buddha is covered in two distinct layers of lacquer of deep red lacquer under black lacquer. The black lacquer worn reveal the red lacquer beneath, similar to Japanese negoro lacquer. Mounted on a custom metal stand.
