19th Century Buddha in Lacquered Wood from Laos

About the Item

We present you this unique and wonderful seated Buddha from Laos, dating back to the early 19th century or possibly earlier. It depicts the wandering ascetic and religious teacher in meditation, clad in monk's attire, his visage radiating deep inner tranquillity, with hands positioned in the 'bhumisparsa mudra' gesture. His head is adorned with the ushnisha, which is the crown of the Lord Buddha and the symbol of his Enlightenment and Enthronement according to Pali scriptures. The statue is enhanced with exquisite black and rich red lacquer and further adorned with very delicate accents of gold leaf motifs. The wooden base displays typical wear and tear, which is expected given its age and its prior use as a decoration in a Laotian temple. The total height of the piece stands at 56 cm, making it a suitable decorative piece for both an internal and an external space.
