Shan Burmese Lacquered and Gilt Wood Buddha, Ava Period, 18th Century

About the Item

A rare and exquisite 18th century Ava period Shan Burmese figure of the Buddha. Carved from a single block of wood, lacquered and gilt, the immensely serene figure is portrayed seated upon a raised throne, hands in bhumisparsha mudra, the gesture of "calling the Earth to witness", commemorating the moment the historical Buddha Shakyamuni reached enlightenment. The Buddha's heart shaped face is rendered beautifully, with elegant downcast eyes and a pursed smile upon his lips. His long earlobes touch his shoulders, a reminder of his princely past. His hair is arranged in neat snail shell curls, rising up to his ushnisha. The front of his throne bears the remnants of an inscription. The back of the throne with a hollowed out section for consecration. The statue with a gorgeous patina. The gilding to the body somewhat rubbed, revealing the contrasting black lacquer below.

Japanese Lacquered and Gilt Wood Buddhism Statue from Edo Period

Located in Atlanta, GA

An exceptional and wood statue of Buddhism Guardian Seitaka Doji from Japan circa Edo period (1603-1868), likely the earlier part of 17th century. One of two chief attendants of Fudou Myouou (the other being Kongara Doji), the name of Seitaka Doji is a transliteration of Sanskrit "Cetaka", meaning servant, slave, and he is said to personify expedient action. He is most commonly found on the right side of Fudou, together with Kongara Doji on the left, forming the Immovable triad, Fudou Sanzon, the terror of evil doers. Seitaka largely adheres to the iconography of a wrathful youth with fleshy body and face, skin in the color of a red lotus, has his hair tied in five knots, and holds a vajra in his left hand and a vajra-club in his right hand, but the actual artistic representations of him in Japan do...
